On Saturday, May 2, 2015  Minot State University’s Flat Tail Press hosted a celebration of printmaking. Students and faculty joined printmakers from around the world to participate in the Print Day in May. Focusing on the number 10, Flat Tail’s participants will create 10 unique print editions of 10 prints sized 10"x10" within 10 hours.
 
This is the first time that Flat Tail Press and Minot State University have participated in the Print Day in May event. In 2007 the printmakers at Monterey Peninsula College in California began devoting the first Saturday in May to printing as a community. It has since become a worldwide event, with people joining in from various countries on 5 continents. Ryan Stander, Assistant Professor of Art and Co-Director of Flat Tail Press said, “We are excited to host our first Print Day in May. Printmakers are often communal types, usually because they need a clean pair of hands to help, though sometimes they need someone elses expertise, and sometimes just for the fellowship during a long day in the studio. This event brings all of that together and dovetails nicely with the educational mission of Flat Tail Press. Our goal as a press, is to expand people’s awareness and appreciation of the remarkable world of printmaking…and make some great art along the way!”

Participants used a variety of processes from woodcuts and screen prints, to lithographs and alternative photographic processes to make the 10 editions. We even had a very special guest...Willem Stander, just 10 days old had to visit the studio for the first time!

We are already looking at building a bigger and better Print Day in May experience for 2016!
