Steamroller Prints These large-scale prints are a culmination of The Overwintering School Project, when linocuts by local high school students were printed using a 2-ton road roller during a day of "printmaking theatre"! Over the past few months, local artists Sara Bowen, Jo Elliott and JP Willis have worked together with 80 Year 9 and 10 students from Woolgoolga and Toormina High Schools to create linocuts of migratory shorebirds. Over the course of the project, students spent time in local shorebird habitat and worked with the artists, National Parks and Wildlife Service rangers, eco-poet John Bennett and volunteers from BirdLife Australia to learn about migratory shorebirds, once plentiful on the Coffs Coast but now threatened and endangered. Their beautiful and thoughtful linocuts bring this global issue close to home.
