4th Annual Block Party Steamroller Printing Event
https://foundryartcentre.org/block-party
This FREE event features interactive art projects for all ages, a print market, food trucks, beer booths, live music, heavy machinery, and steamroller printing.
The largest steamroller printing event in the Midwest is back!
The Foundry’s Block Party centers on a unique and over-the-top method of printmaking, using a STEAMROLLER! Large-scale images created by regional artists are carved on large woodblocks. St. Louis print house Grafik House’s team of inkers roll ink onto these blocks, canvas is laid on top, and then the whole thing is run over with a steam roller – squishing the ink from the woodblock to the sheet. These fantastic prints will be taken into the Foundry’s Grand Hall to dry on display.
In addition to the steamroller prints, the Foundry’s Block Party features an interactive, heavy machinery and vehicle display in the Foundry’s parking lot, where families can interact with the St. Charles Public Works Department, and more. The Foundry will also host live music and food & drinks throughout the day. Visitors are invited to visit artist and sponsor booths, print demonstrations, free art activities for all ages, and of course, to view all of the prints created throughout the day.

The Foundry Art Centre is offering an opportunity to draw from a live model without instruction. The Foundry will provide a model for 2 hours during which participants can practice their figure drawing at their own pace, work on incorporating a figure into an existing piece, or however they’d like to use their time. Foundry staff members – who are also practicing artists – will facilitate the session. Each session will include a series of short poses (1 – 5 min) as well as some longer poses (10 – 20min). It is recommend that participants bring tools and surfaces of their choice to the session.

Art Start
EVERY TUESDAY AT 10:00 AM
Join us for Art Start every Tuesday morning! Art Start is a great opportunity for your young child to experience art! Art Start story times are geared to the 2–5-year-old preschooler with a caregiver. We will explore several books together and create a small art project that pairs with the stories. Art Start is always FREE. For groups of more than 5 please call for accommodations. Siblings welcome.

Second Saturday | Pet Portrait
As we wrap up our celebration of Dogs and our WAG exhibition this month, we invite you to create an assemblage that is a reflection of your dog’s unique personality! During this workshop, you will learn to use small, geometric pieces of cardboard to create abstract dog portraits. You will them add color to the cardboard using oil pastels and markers. Christine Tavares will provide instructions, inspiration and supplies. Second Saturdays at the Foundry provide the opportunity for families to participate in self-guided art-making, gallery exploration and interaction with working artists. Explore materials, learn new techniques, and meet other community members while enjoying creative time with your family.
