Holy Pile of Craft, Batman!

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

It’s almost here! Pile of Craft is coming up this Saturday, June 26 from 10-5 at 2640 St Paul Street. There will be over 40 vendors selling everything imaginable, printmaking and letterpress demonstrations, coffee and snacks, plus a FREE PHOTOBOOTH for taking (free!) crazy prop-filled photos. As part of the Charm City Craft Mafia, I’m in full-on craft show mode now- printing programs, making sure we have enough decorations, helping out with last minute issues- tomorrow is setup and then it’s Saturday! I hope to see everyone there- come check out the new coasters and reduction woodcut print!

Reduction Woodcut- Soufriere, St Lucia

Soufriere, St Lucia

Soufriere, St Lucia

A new print- this is a  4-color reduction woodcut, based on a house I saw in St Lucia. These were printed on the Vandercook Universal 1, which allows for perfect registration throughout the entire printing process. I’ll be posting the different stages of a reduction woodcut to illustrate how the image is created from one block of wood.

Prints are $75 and will be available at Pile of Craft or soon through the website.
