Week 2 of my printmaking class - this is the perspex plate (A5) with remainder ink on it after it was pressed.
During the "Printmaking in the Age of Rembrandt" exhibition at the Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, NH (on view September 29, 2012- January 6, 2013) visitors were invited to carve prints throughout October. Those plates will then be inked and printed during a "Steamroller Printmaking" event on Sunday, November 4 where we'll use an actual steamroller (yes, we mean the road construction vehicle) to produce multiple large-scale prints. These prints will be displayed in the museum's Community Gallery and Art Center.

The akua ink is a little runnier than I like, but cleans up easy, and dries permanent, which is a plus on most waterbased inks.
Here's the top half of the print which shows the texture a little better. The impressions are well defined on the paper. A friend commented today that the texture reminded him of snake skin. I finished 5 more prints in this series. The process was great fun.
My first lino print I made in my printmaking class, about 6" x 6".
I carved it based on one of my photographs.
