It’s my last day in Boise, Idaho and I spent the morning with Amy Nack, the Wingtip Press Director, at a steamroller printing session at a local school then the afternoon back at the studio to knock out a final couple of block prints. The first is a composite of a number of petroglyphs that I drew during my visit to Snake River.
When we were out on our road trip, I sat in the mountains and cut a small block. It’s the first time I’ve done any block cutting al fresco and it was fun. I used a soft, easy-cut block, the sort they use in schools. I haven’t used it before. Here are the results.
And here are some photos of the steamroller printing this morning. It was well over 90F and I had some fresh fruit salad Mexican style – mango, melon and pineapple sprinkled with salt and chili. Delicious.

Wow I didn’t imagine steam roller printing was literally that. I was expecting a photo of some desktop contraption! Looks like it’s been so much fun 🙂
Oh yesssss! A real little steamroller. The kids rolled Akua inks across a giant piece of Perspex and scribbled into it and cut stencils to put on it and then dampened paper put on top and steamrollered.
Looks like you had a fabulous time in Boise, getting lots of inspiration and making great prints! 🙂
It’s been fab
Block prints are great
I love doing them, especially now I’ve discovered Akua inks…..
