Introducing Drive-By Press
For Event printing please click HERE
Drive By Press was created to educate and share the contemporary practice of printmaking with students and art audiences across America.
DBP has visited well over 100! Universities, Colleges,and public schools, traveling over 70,000 miles!
During each stop DBP collects prints from area artists, amassing the largest collection of contemporary prints from across the country!
DBP is a self- funded endeavor solely surviving on small visiting artists honorariums from schools and the sales from printing wood blocks on paper and t-shirts. The blocks have been graciously donated from some of the greatest wood cut artists in the country to support and perpetuate the the endeavor of Drive By press!!
DBP loves the opportunity to share prints, techniques, Artists, and stories about the journey with students. Also, individual critiques and information about graduate programs for students who are interested in a M.F.A.
Hands-On Demonstrations
Drive-By Press can give demonstrations in multi-block relief printing as well as color reduction screen-printing, and the amazing “No-Print”, in screen printing! . Due to the complexity and hazard of driving across the country with an acid bath we are unable to etch from our vehicle, however, we can include demonstrations in etching as well as plate or stone lithography techniques using host facility.
Drive-By’s Lecture Series
We have power point presentations on the history of Printmaking from the 14th Century to the present, Contemporary Printmaking in America, and the history and stories of Drive-By Press. Joseph and Greg also host a question and answer session about the graduate school experience in art for those students thinking of pursuing an MFA. The final presentation is a hands-on session about contemporary trends in printmaking with examples of art for the students to view and handle.
Drive-By Press workshops are two-day events using our mobile print lab or utilizing hosts’ facilities. The first day includes our lectures and demonstrations. The second day is a hands-on printing session with the students printing artist blocks of their choice
