Start your New Year with @biginkprints ! Challenge yourself with a resolution that teaches new skills, connects you with a great group of artists, and helps you create a massive piece of artwork! ••• We want you to join us for large-scale woodblock printing @marylandhall on Mar 29 & 30. Artists are invited to submit a design proposal by Jan 21. 🔥 ••• During the print bonanza we will be utilizing BIG INK's giant mobile press to pull prints up to 40” x 96” in dimension. Those accepted will have two months prior to the event to carve their image into a piece of plywood. BIG INK's role is to make the production of a large-scale woodblock accessible and easy to understand. We hope to make the experience rewarding and informative by imparting our knowledge of preferred materials and techniques. A materials guide and series of step-by-step videos walk participants through the process. Prints made at this event will be included in an exhibit at Maryland Hall in April. ••• BIG INK is designed for printmakers who understand basic woodblock principles but want to expand their expertise and working scale. The program is also designed for those not yet trained in woodblock but whose aesthetic would lend itself to the medium. This includes illustrators, sculptors, designers, and painters who use bold outlines and graphic patterning. ••• It is free to submit a proposal; accepted artists pay $300 dollars to participate. This covers all consumable materials for the event including printing ink, paper, cleaning supplies, equipment usage and photography of the finished work. All that is required of the artist is to bring a fully carved block ready for printing on the event day. ••• Deadline for Proposals - Midnight, Jan 21 ••• Link to Apply - www.bigink.org/apply ••• Photo: Woodblock and print by Zachariah J.
