Printmakers from across Ohio are converging in Dayton this weekend for a statewide Prinmakers Gathering. The gathering begins this evening with events that are also part of downtown Dayton's monthly First Friday festivities. On tap tonight is another installment of Steamroller Prints, Flat-Out Fun in which gigantic hand-pulled prints will be created at the corner of East Fifth Street and Patterson Boulevard using a real steamroller as the press. Dayton-based artists Nicholas Voegele and Patrick Mauk will facilitate the inking and printing process. In addition, 45 local artists will have their carved linoleum blocks printed by the steamroller.

With the Internet now involved, though, the intricacies of these once-obscure techniques suddenly are available anywhere the world's computers are connected. That's part of the reason Clark County will become a mecca this month for printmakers from throughout the world. Sharri LaPierre is the other reason. The local artist enthusiastically suggested her Pleasant Valley studio, on 5 acres near the Clark County Event Center at the Fairgrounds, as a place for interested parties to gather and share ideas about the form. She also offered the North Bank Gallery, in downtown Vancouver, as a sp...

Visitors to Seaside Art Gallery will have the opportunity to meet two printmakers who will be demonstrating their craft in early July. Florida residents Carolyn Cohen and David Hunter exhibit their etchings at Seaside Art Gallery year-round, and they visit the area each summer to share their process. Cohen, a watercolorist and printmaker, expresses a love for nature. A member of the American Society of Botanical Artists and the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators , she has spent significant time painting in botanical gardens. She will demonstrate how to apply watercolor to an etching. The image she's chosen, "Front Row Seats" , features Adirondack chairs on the beach. Cohen's portfolio includes images of animals in the wild, botanicals, a wetland series, landscapes and still life.
