Friday night OPG event photos



The Ohio Print Gathering is over!!
A huge 'thank you" to everyone who volunteered to help, 
as well as all of the folks who 
traveled far and wide to attend. We had artists
from Zygote Press (Cleveland), Phoenix Rising (Columbus),
and the Dayton Printmakers Cooperative who attended,
in addition to lots of local people.


Our first event of the night was a visit
to the studio of the multi-talented Jay Bolotin.
No photos were allowed inside, but
Jay talked a bit about his work and showed
his current video project..great stuff!

~~~~~~~~~~


Next we headed over to Brian Stuparyk's
SteamWhistle Letterpress and design shop
where attendees were able to print
a fun letterpress takeaway poster.







~~~~~~~~~~


Then we were off to the Art Academy of Cincinnati
for the opening of 
Prints for Peace and Justice,
the first juried print competition 
organized by Tiger Lily Press.
It's an excellent show, and will be up
until June 20th...be sure to check it out
if you're in Cincinnati!








David Umbenhour was the winner of
the Director's Choice award.

 Our last event of the evening was
a visit to Mark Patsfall's
Clay Street Press. Mark had a huge
variety of print portfolios that he's created.
Wow....so many incredible prints to look at!
