A conference for such artists was held in Japan last year and Brodbeck attended, both as an accomplished print maker, and as a novice filmmaker.&nbsp;Brodbeck says learning to make a documentary was and still is a steep learning curve, but she had to tell the story of an art process that she feels few people actually understand.&nbsp;</p> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:58:09 +0000 Lorraine Caron 171 at http://wmuk.org Local artist to make documentary about Japanese woodblock printing
