thinking outside the studio

There's more than one, two or even ten ways to make a print, but have you imagined steamrolling it?! The Martha Street Studio in Winnipeg hosts an annual Steam Roller Print Fesitval. High school students, community groups, and artists from across Winnipeg create large linoleum carvings prior to the festival. On the day of the festival the carvings are inked and printed with a steamroller.

Another fun idea... printing monotypes by skateboarding and breakdancing. During the Imagine RIT Innovation and Creativity Festival at the Rochester Institute of Technology, big monotype plates were inked up and participants skateboared, breakdanced and steamrolled to create some neat prints!

If you find yourself making some prints today, don't forget to have fun with it!
