We have limited quantities of oversized prints available from the road roller printmaking sessions at the Art·Struck Festival! Artist Katie Ries hand carved her original design into a wood surface. These were inked, covered with large sheets of paper, pressed with a road roller, and voila – giant prints were created! The artwork measures 2’w x 3’h.

Each print is $200. Proceeds will be split between the artist and Johnson City Public Art. Please DM us if you're interested in purchasing a print.

Many thanks to Katie Ries for all her hard work and creativity, and thank you to Sage Perrott and the volunteers who assisted with the printing process! And a special thank you to Ryan Milhorn with JC Public Works for operating the roller!
