    Hi everybody!
    Happy summer!

    This summer I will be having two printmaking classes. Each is two hours a
    day for four days. I have a session with 6-8year olds and a session with
    9-11 year olds. I would like to do some monoprinting, and collograph, and
    fish printing. I have a couple of questions... What is the best fish to
    print? Is there some that "work" better than others, Id love any tips on
    this method. I want to only have to buy one fish (for each session of
    course) And, does anyone have any superduper printing techniques/projects,
    Id love to hear some of your successful plans! I love printmaking, but
    have never done it in this timing format, I want it to be great for them!

    And I posted this question once before, but no one seemed to know, I
    thought I'd try asking again. What is the substance in water-soluble
    block-printing ink that in time leaks out (brown/amber in color) and turns
    pretty hard. It certainly leaves the ink more dry. I assume it's a binder
    or thickener of some kind... Anyone know exactly what it is? I have a
    closet full of speedball inks all "gone bad" like this -I "inherited"
    these) but I'd like to reconstitute. (-and im just curious what the
    original substance is, no labels on the inks)

    Thanks for any help

    Anna
