The Classical Elements - Earth - Print Exchange
Welcome to the fifth Four Oceans Press’s quarterly hand-pulled print exchange
and calendar project. Please read all details before signing up for the exchange.
How it works
This is a simple print exchange. You print an edition of 26 hand-pulled prints in any
traditional print media – Woodblock, Linoleum, Serigraph, Lithograph or Intaglio.
(Of course, you will not print it from your computer or the local copy shop) You will have
about three months between sign up and deadline so you have plenty of time to be
creative and explore the theme.
Send the prints as soon as they are finished and dry. We will coordinate and
collate the prints and return to you a pile of 25 prints from 25 different artists. The
26th set will go into our archives where they will be permanently displayed on a
separate page on this website [Click here to see the Fall 2007 archive page] and
may be used for future projects.
See more details in the After the exchange section below.

To sign up:
Mailing your prints:
Send your 26 prints (with biographies) and a self-addressed envelope with
sufficient return postage.
We like a colophon as much as the next guy, but that means we have to keep all of
the prints together and that is not always very realistic. For this exchange, please
include 26 copies of your biography. We will send them – with your print to their
next home.
Ideally, we would like to see each set of prints in plastic sleeves with your half-
sheet biography in the back. You can buy plastic sleeves online, at your local art
dealer or you can buy a set of 30 from us for cheap by clicking on the link to the
left.
$10 flat entry fee - pay it through PayPal (to the left) or mail it with your prints.
Mail all correspondents (prints) to:
- Send us an e-mail [kathe@fouroceanspress.com or
heather@fouroceanspress.com] to tell us you would like to participate in the
exchange. - Please tell us which exchange you'll be signing up for.
- Include your mailing address.
- Let us know if this is your first exchange.
- Tell us your website or Blog URL (if you have one) so that we can link to it
from our website. [Yes, we want to help to promote your work. (if you don’t
have a website – see below)] - Keep in touch and let us know how the work is coming along.

Hints on writing your biography
Include your name, city/country, type of art, and then tell a bit about your work.
First, determine if you are talking about all of your work, a small part of your work
or a particular piece of your art. When attempting to describe your work ask
yourself:
Add your website or Blog URL (if you have one).
Check out Artist Foundation for more help writing a biography or artist statement.
Set up your own space on the web
If you don’t have one consider getting a free Blog to showcase your work.
If your are interested in a full website you can set up a free website at Geocities (a
Yahoo! company) or an inexpensive website hosted by Yahoo! by clicking on the
banner to the left. Both are easy to do even with very little computer expertise –
you do not have to know how to write computer code!

After the exchange – the calendar project
The archived images will be scanned and placed on our website for permanent
display with a link to your website (if you don’t have one – see below).
12 images - three prints from each of the next four exchanges - will be chosen for
our 2010 Calendar project. The next three themes will be Water, Air and Fire – the
scheduled exchange dates are listed below. The prints will be chosen based on
image quality and how well they fit together as a group.
The Artist retains all rights to their image. We are only using it once. If we want to
use your image for something else later we will ask permission and discuss
compensation with you at that point.
The 2010 Calendar project is expected in October 2009. If your print is chosen for
this project you will receive five copies of the 2010 Calendar. You will have the
option to purchase more at a reduced rate for sale to your customers.
More information about the Calendar project will be posted as we get closer
complete each stage.
