Steamroller Printing
As far as we know, there isn’t a studio called Steamroller Printing that actually does steamroller prints. However, we think this is a great process and it does occur now and then (Philadelphia PA, San Francisco CA, Missoula MT) and because of the scale of the work, artists are typically invited to contribute. So be on the lookout or organize your own. Pretty great way to get people psyched on printmaking.

Since 2001, during the Southern Graphics Council’s annual conference, the University of Texas at Austin has been spending a day each year printing large relief blocks with a steamroller. Art students and faculty from Austin Community College, St. Edward’s University, and Texas State University in San Marcos are invited to attend, participate, and contribute. Since this event is part of “Explore UT day,” when the University is open to school kids and the public, and because large-format relief printing is, of necessity, a group effort it ends up being a day of Art, fun, and education. “Printmaker’s do it under pressure!”

An artist friend of mine has been creating steam roller prints (amongst other work) for some time. http://www.galerie-borchardt.de/Kuenstler_engl/korsig.htm
