# Summer in Patagonia: Technical Research Residency in non-toxic Printmaking

## About This Program

> "Non-toxic printmaking: technical research, experimentation and systematization of results"

Our Technical Research Residency in non-toxic Printmaking is aimed at experienced printmakers who want to develop projects in the field of non-toxic printmaking. Designed for those looking for the opportunity to experiment and try out new techniques to expand their artistic possibilities. The focus is on the processes and the systematization of results.

Personalized guidance is available depending on the work plan. We combine training time with independent work time to provide greater flexibility. The number of training hours depends on the chosen technique, grouped in 3-hour blocks per session. We offer specialized technical assistance for each proposed technique, designed jointly with the resident prior to the start of their stay.

Current research field includes etching with water based ground like BIG (Baldwin Ink Ground), photo etching with Press-n-Peel Blue, linocut and its variants (polychrome, lino reduction), mokuhanga (woodblock printing with water-based pigments), lithography on polyester plate or pronto plate lithography, photolithography with offset plates, lithography on recycled aluminium plates with citric acid, and tetra pack or green engraving.
