Active and passive sides of Pram Halfwood Press No. 114
Ritchie's comment: Andrew saw the Halfwood Presses online andconsidered several models, then settled on the Pram as being a good one to start
his work in intaglio printmaking. He commented that the Halfwood line might
be well-received in Japan, where he lives and works. This encouraged me to try to
expand our effort toward getting more Halfwood Presses to Japan, and we Skyped
on this several times
he also suggested we find ways to incorporate printmaking
in English teaching methods in Japan
