Back in February we moseyed over to a local print shop for a carving workshop. Put on by the Portland Museum (Portland is a neighborhood in Louisville's West End that used to be a separate city) as part of the run up to their CeLOUbrate Print Festival, we got to spend a couple hours using linocut carving tools to carve our own designs into a block of [MDF.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard)

This workshop was one of many leading up to tomorrow's CeLOUbrate Print shindig, when they ink up the MDF blocks and run'em over with a steamroller to make prints.  We got to see a bit of that at last year's festivities, wasn't going to miss getting to take part in it this year.

We're going to have to get there early, got an Earth Day hootenanny to go to down on Loving Farm in Nepton, Kentucky as well.  Should be too much fun for one camera, borrowed a D750 so I can run two lenses tomorrow.

Printmaking and live music should make for good shooting and a passel of fun, will post the results after we stagger back into the city.
