BIG INK

06/01/2026

Go big or go home. Perkins is bringing BIG INK to Collingswood this fall — a two-day large-scale woodblock printing workshop where you carve a woodblock up to 40 x 96 inches at home, then print it on a giant custom-built press.

October 9 + 10, 2026 | 9 AM – 5 PM
All levels welcome, ages 18+
$350 | Registration deadline: July 27

One day of attendance is required to print — choose Day 1 or Day 2 when you register. Carve solo or bring a team. Scholarships available for students and recent grads.

Meet founder Lyell Castonguay in person and get your hands on The Big Tuna — BIG INK’s legendary mobile press that has produced thousands of prints. Registration is through BIG INK’s website. https://canvas.perkinsarts.org/classes/4421.

Lauren Adelman is the first artist to print at my studio in Troy, NY! 🤙 It was lovely to spend the day with her. The woodblock print will be featured at The Boston Printmakers Biennial this Fall. Congrats to Lauren on this accomplishment!

Adelman is visual artist based in Beacon, NY. She has decades of experience in community education with a focus on youth art programs. She’s also one of the founders of an annual event where artists carve large woodblocks and print them with a steamroller. Follow more of her work
