A busy printing day
Today was all about the linocuts in the Levigator Press studio. Our studio member Jennie was in pulling editions of a few of her Dashing Critters:
You can find Jennie and her lovely work at the Ford City Night Market, starting on May 5! Check out more of her work here: Jennie Nunweiler Art on Instagram
Later we had a new student in printing an edition from her first lino block:
Meanwhile, I was carving away on this:
Student reductive woodcut, finished
Block printed t-shirts
Student woodcuts
Some progress on our students’ reductive woodcut prints. The campfire image is finished; the difference between the third run (blue) and the final run (black) is subtle, but very much in line with what the student was hoping to achieve. Getting those tiny stars to come through in four runs of printing required perfect registration.
The canoe print has one more run to go before it’s finished. To contain the red colour to just the canoe, our student printed it using a stencil, cheating the reductive method to make that part of the print pop.
Up The Mesh Count: zine production!
The staff for Up The Mesh Count have been in the studio printing up covers for the project zine. Here they are all chilling in the drying rack after a long day of printing. They look pretty rad, and they glow in the dark!
Up The Mesh Count is funded by Ontario Arts Council and the City of Windsor Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
