THE SAN FRANCISCO CENTER FOR THE BOOK
ANNUAL ROADWORKS: STEAMROLLER PRINTS

Each year, in September, prominent local San Francisco artists make prints from large-scale linoleum blocks—carved especially for the occasion—with a steamroller !!

What a brilliant idea! I can just hear it now, calling your local construction company head guy and asking him . . . Hey can we borrow one of your steamrollers for the afternoon?   :o)  What a hoot!

But seriously, it sure is a great way to educate your community about “printmaking”,  and promote local artists! . . .very creative!!
