He will speak to our group about print competition. Everyone needs to be looking through their current body of work, searching for their competition worthy prints.

State convention is just around the corner and Jim can help you understand the process as well as how to select and print for this important event. Print completion; whether it is by submitting prints, auditing the actual print judging, or just reviewing the prints as they hang after judging will help you grow in your craft.
