SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT AND HAVE YOUR BLOCK PRINTED.
Event is ALWAYS free to watch!
This is a great opportunity for students, artists and the community to come together in a cooperative event to celebrate the art of printmaking as artists get their over-sized woodblocks inked and printed under the drum of a 2-ton steamroller.
Here’s how to participate (or just come, watch, and enjoy the spectacle).
You can carve a block on your own or work with a friend. MDF or wood boards must be ¾” thick with a minimum size of 3’ x 3’ up to 3’ x 8’. Your block may be cut to a shape or stay with the tried-and-true rectangle (shapes actually print better).
The fee is $30 and is non-refundable. This includes inking, paper and one print of your woodcut.
MDF or wood boards must be ¾” thick with a minimum size of 3x3 feet, but no larger than 3x8 feet. Your block may be cut to a shape or stay with the tried-and-true rectangle (shapes actually print better). For best printing results: Proof your print or roll out a light coat of ink on the board using black oil-based ink a day or two before the event. Either way, leave the ink on the board.
