February 17-21, 2025 (5 sessions)
Join Kamla Kakaria and Romson Regarde Bustillo in discovering the rich traditions of Oaxaca while exploring the art of printmaking in the heart of one of its most traditional neighborhoods, Jalatlaco. Led by studio master artists at (https://www.facebook.com/ProduccionGraficaZanate/) run by the talented Daniel Flores, this workshop promises a deep dive into the world of printmaking.
In this workshop we will work traditionally in the cooperative, communal approach of the studio master artists who will etch, proof and print the plates we create. This can allow for experimentation with new techniques and ideas which you can bring back to your own work. We will use two plates (foreground and background) that are etched with salts (not acid). The Mexican master artists share their innovations in technique and experimentation to create surfaces to etch using tusche, aerosol, craquelure and Judea bitumen bags resulting in unusual and beautiful results. Daniel and his team will assist every step of the way.
This workshop is your chance to immerse yourself in art, culture, and creativity in the enchanting setting of Oaxaca. Don't miss this opportunity to learn, experiment, and be inspired in one of Mexico's most artistic and traditional neighborhoods. Join us for an unforgettable artistic journey!
