About this Event

Come check out a new series of MWMO inspired cast metal brands created by Minneapolis artist, Brighton McCormick. The brands bring attention to the importance of water quality protection, native plants, and pollinator habitat. During the Hot Press Workshop, you’ll learn to use cast metal brands from the Fire Press Library (FPL) to permanently burn intricate images into reclaimed wood and upcycled leather scraps. Under guided instruction, participants will craft their own garden markers, patches, and unique prints.


About Fire Press Library

Fire Press Library (FPL) is an ever growing collection of cast metal brands that use heat to stamp 2D images on objects and surfaces. When heated and pressed to wood or leather the brand burns a permanent image onto the surface. Through this process a set of ink stamps are also created allowing for traditional printmaking as well. The collection is an archive of sculptural printmaking from a wide range of artists that is shared with the public through workshops and events.


It begins with a 2D design which is then used to create a pattern to fabricate a cast metal stamp of the image. Once the brand is fabricated it is added to the library and is then shared with workshop participants. Participants are invited to submit a design to be considered for the library and the cycle begins again. Learn More: brightonmccormick.com/firepresslibrary
