I spent academic year 2014-2015 participating in Tamarind Institute’s Professional Printer Training Program– an intensive, immersive experience delving into the extremely technical aspects of traditional lithography and the fine art of collaborative printing. We studied chemistry, ink modification, roller control, paper preparation and handling, printing strategies, layering and image making options, color matching, alternative materials, print curation and the history of fine art prints in relation to collaborative lithography. The first semester of the program required a dedicated 50-60 hours of work in the studio working on technical assignments learning to control materials and methods with fine precision and sophistication.These images represent numerous tests and exercises completed during Fall 2014.
