Roll On Richmond Hill is a Steamroller Printmaking Event being held in the back parking lot (BTW this means *NO ON-SITE PARKING*) of the Burr House Artisans shop on Saturday August 19th between 10am and 4pm.
Three guest artists, plus the event's host, Katie Argyle, have been busy hand-carving a 20" x 30" block of birch plywood for this event.
In addition, one steamroller-made print by each artist will be on display and for sale in the Burr House Artisans Shop right after its creation.
All the printmakers are showing work in the Burr House right now. Each one of them has printmaking experience, two of them have done steamroller printing before. All artists are based in Richmond Hill.
Haleh Delavi and Alexandra Conrad are working together to carve one block. Both are members of the Richmond Hill Group of Artists.
