Dear Fuck Yeah Prints,

May I submit to you this video showing the making of Ugo Gattoni’s newest etching.

From the engraving on the copper plate through the acid bath to the printing process in the press, you will discover the amazing know-how required in this ancient art printing process that few people know about.

BIG INK is stoked to partner with Roger Williams University’s fine art department for the weekend.  Here are shots of students printing their 24" x 36" woodblocks on the printshop’s Takach press.

Michael Rich, instructor of painting at RWU and a previous BIG INK participant, invited us to work with his students.  We formulated a master scheme for woodcut domination that involved two separate visits to RWU.

Lyell Castonguay first visited in October to inspire the students with example prints along with carving and printing demos.  Then Castonguay and fellow BIG INK organizer Carand Burnet returned this past weekend to help the students print his or her finished block.

Students from both the architecture and fine art departments participated.  We love to collaborate with art centers, colleges, and community print shops to help one another achieve a creative goal. If you know of another educational institution who would be interested in hosting a similar event please let us know and don’t forget to follow BIG INK on Tumblr!
