10th Annual Roadworks Printing Festival


This last weekend we attended the 10th Annual Roadworks--a steamroller printing festival.

The event is a fundraiser for the San Francisco Center for the Book.



This year's steamroller was a classic.



Printmakers carve gigantoid block prints which are inked and then "pressed" with the steamroller right on the street.


Here are a few of the prints:





There are printmakers selling their works at booths on the street. 
You can also tour the Center and even play around with some of the presses.


Here's Kate printing a small piece.
