"Steamroll printing is a completely wonderful and irreverent art for printmakers who want to do giant linocuts that are usually too big to fit inside a press."
"We need to borrow a steamroller, or, in this case, we rented one, and it's surprisingly cheap to rent a steamroller for the day."
"When the linoleum is sated, two of our artists pick up the print and gently set it on a large piece of paper sitting on top of a slab of wood."
"I wanted to do a city landscape, but I didn't necessarily wanna do people, and I love bunnies."
Laura Master and other artists participate in the PDX Steamroller Print Fest, where they create a large linocut of a cityscape populated by bunnies. Artists apply ink using a rolling pin-like tool and carefully prepare a print using a steamroller. This form of printing is described as wonderful and irreverent, allowing for the creation of prints too large for standard presses. Renting a steamroller for the day is not costly, enabling artists without prior experience to engage in this unique form of printmaking.
