comparing brown pigments

1333 red for flesh - historic pigment matches probable date of lamp but color is not red enough

Modern enamel - Burnt sienna

addition of "mahogany" looks closer - requires additional testing

AGG Brochure 2015

This is the re-dsign of the AGG Trifold Brochure. I first created it in 2011. It was reprinted in 2012 & 2014 with minor changes. Mary Higgins did the proof reading and copy edits. It was not updated in 2013. For 2015 I have changed all of the front member images (making selections from the member studio web galleries currently on the AGG Member page. The panel detail on the inside brochure is by Kathy Barnard (replacing a detail by Dan Maher). New member images on the cover are details of works by David Crane, Sean Merchant, Deborah Coombs, Betti Pettinatti-Longetti, Alice Johnson and me. The artists are identified by last name in the caption. The other revision was to change the titles and color fields to blue. I have not made any significant changes to the body text. You can download the full size PDF on Dropbox via these links:
