Print Day in May
Print Day in May is an annual, worldwide jollification of printmaking celebrated on the first Saturday in May.
PDiM is open to everyone. This year, on May 7th, tens of thousands of printmakers around the globe will make prints and share them online with others. Sound fun? It is!

Linocut and Drypoint Print Experiments
Experiments in the art studio will polish your problem-solving skills. And deadlines to participate in a community printmaking event like Print Day in May can nudge you out of a slump. If you didn’t make a print for this year’s PDiM, I hope you’ll mark your calendar to hop in next year. Be sure to search social media for the hashtag #printdayinmay to see this year’s participants.
Stay tuned for more printmaking mashups in future posts (you can subscribe to this blog here). Each new print combo I start gives me up a stack of printmaking lessons. Learning new things is such good encouragement. I hope you’re stretching your skills with some art-related experiments too.
Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you in the next post -
