Program Description

BIG INK is hosting a weekend of monumental woodblock printing at Riverviews Artspace in Lynchburg, VA, this fall. We invite artists interested in carving a woodblock of at least 24 by 36 inches to print with us! First, artists must submit a design for consideration by August 3rd. Those selected will have two months to carve a woodblock based on their submission. We then meet at Riverviews and help each other print on BIG INK’s giant mobile printing press, The Big Tuna. It’s free to submit; accepted applicants pay $300. Participation includes the following benefits: ✔️ Access to our online woodblock carving master class ✔️ Hands-on instruction during the event ✔️ High-resolution scan of the finished work ✔️ Ink and paper samples from Speedball Art Products ✔️ Potential inclusion in themed exhibitions ✔️ Feature in our online shop
