Print Day in May is all about celebrating the global printmaking community. A great way to do that is by participating in an event hosted at a printmaking studio! If you are hosting or attending an event, please let us know at printdayinmay@gmail.com and we’ll add it here! Registered users can also post events on our blog.
North America
Chesterton Art Center (Chesterton, IN)
We have a fantastic Print Day in May workshop planned and look forward to sharing it with you! With guidance from Georgia Geis, students will explore the vast possibilities of printmaking in celebration of Print Day in May. Students will receive demonstrations on a series of both traditional and modern printing processes including linocut relief printing, basic wood type letterpress, LEGO printing, mono printing, and veggie printing. Students will then move through the print stations and practice the different techniques, creating a set of medium-sized prints to take home. Come ready to experiment, play, and collaborate together!
