A three-tonne road roller put the finishing touches to 10 new artworks celebrating Dundee’s history, culture and landscape to bring the inaugural Print Festival Scotland (PFS) to a dramatic conclusion on Saturday.
The Big Print brought professional artists, students and local school and community groups together to create a series of 190cm x 90cm lino tiles inspired by themes as diverse as the demolition of Tayside House, pioneering social reformer Mary Lily Walker and urban foxes.
The volunteers congregated in the car park of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design to see a road roller print the designs on to paper in front of crowds of people.
The resulting 10 new artworks will go on display in the creative learning suite at the McManus to coincide with the Modern Masters in Print Exhibition.

The Big Print is one of more than 40 exciting projects, workshops and exhibitions taking place in Dundee and satellite venues across Scotland as part of the festival.
PFS accompanies IMPACT8, the world’s largest and most prestigious printmaking conference.
Each group was given a different theme, ranging from the women of Dundee to the city’s history and landscape, and asked to produce a series of drawings inspired by them.
