The Steamroller Print Project will be back in 2021.
We have moved to an alternating year schedule, with events planned for odd numbered years.
If you are a school or artist interested in participating please contact James Bailey at [email protected] in late September or early October 2021 for more details and check back on this site as well for up to the moment updates. (see below for Changes in format/process).
The 18th Annual Steamroller Print Project will be back again this year:
Date: Wednesday, October 13, 2021
Time: Printing will begin at 10:00 a.m- till last block is printed or 4 pm (whichever comes first).
Images: There is no theme for images, so carve whatever you like and bring your block over and we can help you print it.
Location: In front of the George & Jane Dennison Theatre on The University of Montana campus.

CHANGE IN FORMAT/PROCESS FOR 2021:
Starting in 2017 we have begun using printing ink instead of house paint for printing our images. This means artists do not need to carve their blocks as deep as in past years and this also allows for greater detail in the printed images. Artists can carve 1/4" or 1/2" MDF, Battleship Gray Linoleum or 1/4" Birch or Fir plywood. However, the printing ink is considerably more expensive than the house paint, so we therefore need to charge a fee for those not enrolled in a printmaking class at UM.
If you are wanting to participate in 2019, and want to bring a block to print you are more than welcome.
You will need to provide the following:
1-Contact James Bailey at [email protected] no later than October 5th. So we can order enough ink to have on hand.
2-Bring your board with you.
3-You provide your own fabric (can be any color, cotton is recommended)- We will be printing black ink only.
4-Cash or check made out to MATRIX Press. (Must be presented at the time of printing.)
FEE IS: $10.00 per 4'x8' print / $5.00 per 4'x4' or smaller print
As always, if you or your class are interested in just coming to the event to watch, All are welcome.
