TIME TO SUPERSIZE?!
Have you been longing to make big prints? Do you need a project with a deadline to distract you from every day stresses? Perhaps this is your year to sign up for large format and steamroller printing at SPF’21! Here’s how it works, you sign up and carve a big ol’ block (max size 40x80” we have linoleum here for purchase or you can grab some 1/2” ply or mdf from a home improvement store or lumber yard), then bring it to ISP to print an edition of 10 juicy prints on beautiful Japanese Masa paper in the month of October. When SPF’21 rolls around on November 13, 2021 you’ll have a place to display a print from your edition at the fair and we’ll print a proof of your block live using the monumental steam roller in front of SPF’s visitors. It’s a hoot!

Fresh Prints presents a collection of prints and artists' books from a group of local artists working at every level and from every discipline, on IS Projects’ presses week after week. Through varied approaches to printmaking, exhibited works highlight the core techniques taught in our studio each month, including letterpress printing, screen printing, book binding, intaglio and relief. The exhibited artists explore their personal narratives, political anxieties, and relationship to nature through the lens of contemporary printmaking. Whether revisiting the press after decades away, learning how to pull a print for the very first time, or coming to printmaking from another medium, the studio creates common ground for each artist to hone their craft.
Featuring works by
Kylie Aylies, Jennifer Broutin Farah, Amber Frank,
Caro Gutierrez, Nickole Maurstad, Cristina Müller,
Alexandra Riesco, Leah Roobin, Coral Rose,
Jay Sylvestre, Abby Wang & William de Yampert
