Sorry I missed the conference this year. If you ever want to come out west, Salt Lake City might be fun. We have a really great print shop at the University of Utah http://www.lib.utah.edu/collections/book-arts/ and we have Saltgrass Printmakers a non-profit organization dedicated to the art of printmaking http://www.saltgrassprintmakers.org/ the website hasn’t been updated in a while, but they are busy on Facebook. Have a great day!
