Great Training

Ray's studio is very cool. I think it is a great experience to visit this studio once in your life and experience the printing process.
Ray's teaching method is clear and professional. He teaches even complete beginners with great care. He is also open minded to new methods and approaches, and I was able to work with him on new artistic endeavors.

photogravure workshop

I took Ray's Photogravure Workshop and so thankful that I did. He is an amazingly kind, generous and informed instructor. He was thorough in showing me the process and helping me to do it on my own. I am so grateful to have him nearby and will surely take another class in the chine-colle', when I feel I have "mastered" the photogravure process. I had a very positive experience and highly recommend his workshops.

I also have purchased one of his prints. I love the feel, tonality, lighting and how he captures a thoughtful pose. His art is viseral and leaves a lasting impression.
