BIG INK RETURNS!
April 1st + 2nd, 11am-4pm daily
Witness a giant portable printing press IN ACTION!
Come watch the Big Tuna, a portable print press whose size inspired its name, reel off large-scale woodblock prints carved by local artists. BIG INK LLC, a New England-based art education company, is teaming up with A.P.E. Ltd. for a second time. A group of artists started carving monumental woodblocks in February using traditional Japanese chisels. BIG INK Director Lyell Castonguay has been guiding them through the process via online instruction.
"Seeing woodblocks printed at this scale is impressive," states Lyell Castonguay, BIG INK's Founding Director. "It's like magic. The woodblock is inked, sent through the press, and an image appears on the paper."
The event will be open from 11 AM to 4 PM on April 1 and 2, where visitors can see up-close printing demonstrations.
Saturday's slate will feature appearances by:
Samantha Durfee, Iwalani Kaluhiokalani, Molly Paul, Kate Ricketson, Richard Deon, and Nancy Doniger.
Sunday's artists are:
Alison Friedlin, Jessica McKeon, Heather Kasunick, Kevin Cross, Peter Cangialosi, and Dara Herman-Zierlein.
Come enjoy this unique experience! Free and open to the public.
