WHEN: Saturday, October 3rd / attend any time between 10 AM-12 PM
AGES: All ages are welcome
DESCRIPTION: Steve and Liz Garst, owners of the Provisional Press will lead an interactive session where attendees can explore alternative methods of printing using LEGO blocks and other nontraditional matrices to print designs on the Provisional Press. The Provisional Press is a DIY proof press that makes letterpress printing a lighter and less expensive endeavor for new printers, educators, and artists. Over the last six years, the Garsts have led workshops for children and community members to introduce them to the world of letterpress printmaking. In this open and interactive session you can come with an idea to print or come to play. There is a special focus on accessibility, so if you would like tips, pointers, or just share some stories about printing with the public, drop in and play with a Provisional Press.
This drop-in workshop is part of the 4th Street Print Festival at Chesterton Art Center. Designed for all ages and experience levels, the workshop welcomes children, families, and adults attending on their own. The 4th Street Print Festival is generously supported by a grant from Indiana Dunes Tourism.
Please note: Registrations are per group, not per person attending. The Registration Form will prompt you to list the headcount and ages of your group members.
Location: The Ceramics Studio, across the street at 116.
