# Summer in Patagonia: Guided Training Residency in Printmaking

**Hosted by:** Taller Radal

## About This Program

> "Non-toxic printmaking"

A residency for learning or specializing in non toxic printmaking techniques aimed at those who want to discover a new medium or delve deeper into the field of non-toxic printmaking. We follow a personalized plan based on your previous knowledge and experience. The practice is structured from foundational principles to more complex techniques, allowing you to have an immersive experience during your stay.

Training and specialization programs are based on the selected techniques and course length: basic technical initiation (relief print, monotypes, white embossing), etching and aquatint on metal plate with salt mordant, and mokuhanga (woodblock printmaking with watercolours inks). Other techniques of choice include linocut and its variants (polychrome, lino reduction), lithography on polyester or pronto plate, photolithography with offset plates, lithography on recycled aluminium plates with citric acid, tetra pack engraving, blind embossing and collagraf.
