Check out Ken Swinson's (from Tiger Lily) video featuring their contribution to DVAC’s event!

 

PRINTMAKING LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!
Oct. 7 5-9 p.m., during First Friday
At the corner of Fith Street and Patterson Blvd., at the old Greyhound Bus Terminal
Held in conjunction with a statewide Printmakers’ Gathering on Saturday, Oct. 8

 

Watch renowned printmakers from across the state create gigantic, hand-pulled prints, using a real steamroller as a “press.”

Participating organizations: The Dayton Printmakers Cooperative, Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative, Studio M Printmakers, Tiger Lily Press & Zygote Press.

More than 30 local artists will also create original linoleum block prints that will be printed using the steamroller. Kids & adults can create “mini-steamroller” prints using watercolor paint in a free, family fun activity. Fun for all ages! An Open Portfolio will be held at the adjacent studios of ThinkTV from 5-9 p.m. with many unframed prints for sale at very resonable prices.
