Roadworks: A Steamroller Printing Festival

 Registration is closed for this event

September 29th, 2013 11:00 AM

The 10th Annual Roadworks: Steamroller Printing Festival wil be held on Sunday, September 29, 2013, 11:00am-4:00pm on Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill between 16th and 17th Streets.

The San Francisco Center for the Book’s annual Roadworks Street Fair is a FREE day-long public printmaking showcase presented amid a selection of local food and fine craft vendors. Using a three-ton construction steamroller and an unlikely letterpress bed - Rhode Island Street - a team of artists and printers print large-scale prints from three-foot-square hand-carved linoleum blocks.

Now in its 10th year, Roadworks has become a casual, popular tradition in San Francisco, drawing printmaking and book art enthusiasts as well as locals and families. Events for children will be scheduled all day. Free tours of the Gallery, plus free letterpress, bookbinding, and other mini-workshops will be offered at SFCB during the festival.
