Our History |
|||
| Founded in
1976, the Nature Printing Society is an
international organization devoted to nature and
to the art of nature printing. It is organized
and operated for artistic and educational
purposes, to advance and encourage nature
printing, and to further the interests of its
members by promoting acquaintance and cooperation
among them. The Society encourages publication of
articles, demonstrations of printing, teaching of
classes, and the organization of displays and
exhibitions of all forms of nature printing. It
has established guidelines for prints based on
those followed by Gyotaku-no-kai, the
Japanese fish printing organization. The Nature Printing Society publishes a quarterly newsletter for members that contains information on techniques used in printing, schedules of classes and workshops held by and for members, dates of shows exhibiting prints by members, and bibliographies of interest to nature printers. A copy of the Society's current By-Laws can be read or downloaded in PDF format by clicking here. The Society sponsored the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service exhibit of nature prints, "Pressed On Paper", which toured the US, Canada and Australia from 1981 to 1987. The NPS was also a cosponsor for the "Impressions of
Nature" Exhibit, 2000-2001, at the Santa
Barbara Museum of Natural History, Santa Barbara,
CA. (www.sbnature.org) |
