There's a remake of my 2011 video, "Vitreography on a Galleon Halfwood Press" I put up on January 2, and it's been getting 1,000 views a day for the past week. I retitled it, "Siligraphic Vitreography: The new lithography." It's stirred up a lot of comments.
Siligraphic Vitreography: The New Lithography Based on his 2010 introduction to vitreography, Bill Ritchie revisits the subject on a request by a friend who wants to learn old-style hand lithography on s...
Thinking about Anne Focke today, and the Artistamp Clocks I made in 2005 for her. In June almost twenty years later, I made this video.

Our Story
Purchased in 2009 as a space for the Ritchie Family Art collection, video art archive and memorabilia, the Mini Art Gallery also serves as a workshop for Bill Ritchie, advocating new ways to enjoy prints and printmaking experience. Their gallery houses a collection of work spanning 50 years made by Bill, friends and former students.
Thus the Mini Art Gallery is a man and wife effort to promote sale of the life-work of Bill, the artist and teacher in the family. Assisted by their younger daughter, Nellie Sunderland, their goal is to pass forward Bill's legacy in a form suitable to the times. In the 21st Century, two economies buoy their effort - the creative and the experience economies. It's a time when transferring an artist and teacher's legacy can be a work of art in itself.
The proceeds from the Ritchie family's work may finance new business startups, giving Seattle the nation’s first center for incubating skills-based startups and work places based on hand-printmaking and fine art prints.
An example is Bill’s “Sip ‘N Print” business concept, pictured above. It’s based on the Sip and Paint industry which began about the same time as the Mini Art Gallery. Bill substitutes personal-sized, designer etching presses for canvases, and has designed steps to make it an income-earner and job creator with potential for extension and scale.
