| The largest steamroller printmaking event in the country returns to the Foundry Art Centre this summer. Block Party is a unique over-the-top event where 22-ton steamrollers create art before your very eyes. Mark your calendars for June 13 for day full of fun and creativity.
This free, family-friendly event features a plethora of indoor and outdoor art activities. Explore the print market, try hands-on art activities, and watch live demos from talented artists as you immerse yourself into the world of printmaking. Don’t forget the main event, steamroller printmaking! Artists carve designs onto large blocks, roll on ink, lay a canvas over the surface, and then a steamroller drives across it, squishing the ink onto the canvas in one move. The larger-than-life prints are then hung to dry in the Grand Hall, perfect for viewing and photos (and to purchase - they’re for sale!).
