Spudnik Press

Thank you to everyone that came out to celebrate our growing print community. We enjoyed lovely live music, delicious tamales, the smell of fresh ink, and 50+ pieces of art by Chicago’s best.

I would like to personally thank everyone who volunteered in one capacity or another, as well as the following people for their above and beyond contributions:

New Now Know How Jazz Ensemble
Kim and Lee: Tamale Chefs
Nevena and Abby: Interns Extraordinaire
Cristina, Liz, and Pete: Carved Block Contributors
Colin and Megan: Over-the-top Volunteers and Errand-runners

Cheers!

Our Monthly Drink & Draw! Wed., Aug. 4, 7:00 at Spudnik Press… Drink and Draw is our monthly night devoted to drawing practices. There’s no teacher and no pretensions. We provide a theme for the evening and some booze. Please come, bring paper and bring your friends while you’re at it.
This time around, we’re gonna be fingerpainting. That’s right, put away your fancy pencils and brushes and hi-tech gear. It’s time to get kindergarten on it….

Yes. FREE. Free as a bird. Free, free, free!! In celebration of Spudnik Press turning 3, we want you to come hang and print with us all day this Saturday! Starting at 11 am, Spudnik members will be offering free screenprinting and monoprinting lessons to all visitors. Materials will be provided by Spudnik but we encourage bringing additional materials of choice.

If you ever wanted to know what printing is all about and what makes it sooo deliciously addictive, then come on by and check us out! Plus you’ll get to walk away with your own hand-printed greeting card or a sweet-lookin’ patch.

And while at Spudnik, you can browse our collection of prints, ask us questions, tell us some jokes, and learn more about the fabulous community of printing. Sounds great right?!

See ya there!!

Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival

On-site screen printing

Friday, July 23, 2010

For one night only, we’ll be joining the Milwaukee Ave Arts Festival, a new event featuring dozens of art exhibitions, performances, and a spectrum of live music along Milwaukee Avenue (2250–2850 North Milwaukee in Chicago). We will be contributing to a pop-up sculpture garden in the parking lot of the defunct Max Gerber Showroom. Festival-goers are invited to try their hand at screen printing a design created at Spudnik just for this event.
