Joe Public Press After Dark

Last Updated 12/5/2023

In the heart of Old Central City on 14STW, a vibrant community of artists and enthusiasts gathered on December 1st for an event that was sure to mark the beginning of a creative journey for many. Joe Cox, the visionary behind Joe Public Press, hosted its first event, "Print After Dark," at RenewAll Inc., the space where Pop-Up West comes to life. This event wasn't just about ink and paper; it was a celebration of craftsmanship, community friendship, and the timeless art of printing.

The Event

"Print After Dark" unfolded as a unique experience where attendees had the opportunity to engage with the fascinating world of printmaking, specifically through a potter-proof press. Joe Cox, the driving force behind Joe Public Press, took on the role of both host and instructor, guiding participants through the wonders of the printing process.

Hands-on, Affordable Experience

The highlight of the event was the hands-on workshop, where participants learned the art of using the potter-proof press. Each attendee had the chance to create a specially crafted print under Joe Cox's expert guidance. From selecting the right materials to the final crank of the press, participants were immersed in a world where creativity met craftsmanship.

One of the exciting aspects of "Print After Dark" was the accessibility it offered to the community. With a modest ticket price of only $20, attendees could secure their spot online or at the door. This inclusive approach ensured that people from all walks of life could participate in the event and take home their own unique print.
