| Snapshots of Chris Style’s potato print project created from potatoes grown in the potato patch planted by Larry Smith outside of the University Union East Entrance. Students in Style’s Intro., Intermediate, and Adv. Printmaking courses took part in a potato print workshop. Potatoes were harvested, cut using various tools, rolled up with ink, and stamped onto cotton towels, pillow shams, and paper. Besides printing from the carved potatoes, they also printed the potato plant and roots, by rolling it up in ink and putting it through the printing press. The potato prints on paper will be scanned and used by Style in the Potato Project Zine. Potato’s are inspiration as well as sustenance. |
