A BIG THANKS to Virgil Velasco and Ellie Weadock
who did all the printing!!!


We shared the back studio
with Screen-printing and Mokuhanga


We set up on the table in the very back


We brought 18 tiles
(and Holland gave us the 19th linocut)


Pinwheel tessellation


Holland set the press pressure for us


We used the Akua intaglio inks,
and had a whole treasure chest of colors to choose from


Yellow Ochre, Red Oxide, Ultramarine Blue --


Virgil marks the paper size with a Sharpie,
so that we knew where to lay the paper --
