Marz Today x Print Day in May Activities.
Printmakers in Quezon City, Philippines are invited to join the Print Day in May activities at the Marz Today Studio. I’ll be hosting two mini-print parties on May 6, 2023 (Saturday)
The All-day breakfast printmaking party kicks off in the morning from 9 am to 12 noon. Guest printmakers get to make mini-prints using my Silog (Pinoy breakfast) themed stamps. It’s a casual event and printmakers of any skill level are welcome.
In the afternoon from 2 PM to 5 PM, it’ll be an Open Press Project mini-print party. Printmakers can bring their matrices and have a go at the Open Press Project 3D Printed mini-press.
We plan on concluding the day with an online get-together with all of the printmakers via Zoom hosted by fellow printmaker, Angela Silva of Rolling Paper Press Studio in Bacolod.
About Print Day in May
Print Day in May is a young printmaking tradition started by Robynn Smith in 2007. Today it has grown to be a global printmaking event that is observed every first Saturday of May. Last year’s Print Day in May in the Philippines was a hybrid celebration that concluded with an online exhibition called “Prints Made in May” which was supported by our friends from Cartellino.
Although our work at the Marz Today studio may be small, the love for printmaking is big. Happy Print Day in May!
