Amze is also Co-founder and Contributing Editor of Printeresting.org.  Printeresting is a blog investigating the intersection of contemporary print, design, and technology within a visual culture context.  Self-described as “a thinking person’s favorite source of online printmaking miscellany,” Printersting has an average readership of over 13,000 distinct viewers per month and a regular translation into over 70 languages. www.printeresting.org

The Marvin Bileck Printmaking Project at Bowdoin College is made possible by a generous gift from the Marvin Bileck and Emily Nelligan Trust. The Marvin Bileck Printmaking Project brings a visiting artist and master printmaker together to collaborate for one week with Bowdoin printmaking students.  Amze Emmons will be working side by side with master printer, David Wolfe, and students to create a new edition of prints.
