This programme of talks aims to build our relationships with similar printmaking studios around the world. Invited representatives of each studio, as well as artist members, students or collaborators will give a talk and introduce their organisation, work, projects and facilities to an international audience of creative printmakers.
The Art of Printmaking International online conversations will create a virtual space for sharing in our passion for advancing printmaking, sustaining communities and contributing to the cultural life of our countries.
The first talk will take place on Thursday 7th November from 5pm to 7pm (GMT) with Funen Printmaking Studio in Odense, Denmark.
Speakers:
Lene Leveau, Studio Manager
Kirsten Muchtisch Hesselager, Association President
Funen Printmaking Studio is a unique cultural institution that creates professional visual art and thereby contributes to marking Funen as a part of the country with a rich and varied cultural life. The studio exists because there is a strong community of interest among graphic artists who want to develop the art and graphic professionalism. In the house, strong graphic traditions are cultivated and developed, and from here knowledge of the potential of the graphic medium is spread.
Funen Printmaking Studio is both a workshop, Artist in Residence, gallery and shop. That is, a small ecosystem with a strong history and derived unique spirit (genius loci = spirit of the place).
