Demonstrating Artists
Each year the Festival invites local artists to come down and demonstrate their artistic talents. In the past we’ve invited Utah Calligraphers, The Salt Lake Knitting Guild, and The Glass Guild from Illinois. Watching artists at work gives patrons the opportunity to see the artistic process, learn about a new medium, and ask questions of the artists about their craft.
See professional artists creating real works of art during all four days of the Festival, usually located in the northeast corner of the City County grounds (unless otherwise noted). Most demonstrations last 45 minutes. Schedules are subject to change.
Saltgrass Printmakers - Steamroller Printing
Saltgrass Printmakers will demonstrate relief printing including Steamroller Printing at the Festival.
In addition to demos in our booth, twice a day (at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.), we'll fire up the steamroller to make some BIG woodcut prints on 200 East.
