The magic of printing is usually hidden in the sheds, workshops and studios of printers and designers. The Big Steam Print brings the secret into the open air for everyone to witness as artists and students from across the country come together for the opportunity to print on a giant scale with our vintage steam roller. Join the excitement as artists including Freddie Robins, Ben Coode-Adams, Justin Knopp (Typoretum), Angie Lewin, Rob Ryan and Anthony Burrill produce their biggest ever prints in a heady haze of steam and printing ink.
The Big Steam Print event takes part during the Ditchling Village Fair so the village will be busy and parking will be severely restricted.
Printing starts at 10.00am. Freddie Robins and Ben Coode-Adams are timetabled to print from 4.30-5.20pm, however timings may have to change on the day!
Prints which survive the pummelling of tons of steel on tarmac will form the Big Steam Print exhibition at Phoenix Gallery in Brighton: 6– 21 August.
