Minnesota, the land of a thousand lakes and home to more trees than you can shake a stick at, is also the place where the incredible, imaginative, ink-splashing kids gather for the fantastic activity of Printmaking! Within this state so chilly that even polar bears need a sweater, these inventive youngsters make magic with their hands and minds. Among these gifted kiddos, there is a cool, quirky character known as Inky Igloo. He got this peculiar name, not because he lived in an igloo (though he wouldn’t mind given how much Minnesotans love the cold), but because his passion for printmaking equals the number of snowballs thrown during an epic Minnesota snowball fight! He's a master at turning splotches of ink into spectacular designs. With his ink-stained fingers, Inky Igloo creates a whirlpool of laughter and curiosity. Inky Igloo and his crew of creative comrades are like superheroes of the art world. Instead of capes, they wear aprons splattered with as many colors as a sunset over Lake Superior. And instead of super strength or the ability to fly, they wield the power to transform simple sheets of paper into mesmerizing masterpieces. Their tools aren't x-ray vision or web-slinging, but brushes, squeegees, and rollers. So, dear friends, strap on your snow boots, prepare your paintbrushes, and join Inky Igloo and his band of merry Minnesotan printmakers for an incredible inky adventure. Because in this land where the snowflakes sparkle like diamonds, the kids are turning ink and imagination into a world of creativity. Welcome to Minnesota, the home of a thousand lakes, a million trees, and an infinite number of printmaking possibilities!
