I know this is off topic Brian, but it's what I left you a message about today. I bought the brayer! I doubt I'll be able to get a new roller for it. But, I figured it would be fun to play with a little even if just to use it to add texture to a print.
The manufacturer is W.C. Mfg. Co and it's about a 3" cast iron brayer. From what I've been able to find so far the last time these were made was about 1935 or 1940.
I'll bring it to class on Monday so you can see it. :)
Intalyo (the pronounciation for Intaglio) is for my students and anyone else interested in the art of the hand pulled print. There will be frequent updates of printshop activities, including student work and works-in-progress. The self portrait below was from my "Vices" series, it's a mezzotint (an intaglio process) with chine colle, printed from a hand-rocked copper plate. Check back often to see what's up in the printshop.
