Karin Kent — Norway
Artist in Residence · April 2026

In April 2026, Karin Kent, an artist from Norway, completed an artist residency at Art Print Residence, focusing on hard ground etching and aquatint on copper.

During her stay, Karin participated in an Etching and Aquatint Course, led by Jordi Rosés and Ariadna Abadal, together with fellow artists Nefise Işıl Acar Sürmeli from Türkiye and Arturo Talavera from Mexico.

Throughout the course, Karin explored the different stages of traditional intaglio printmaking, from preparing and drawing on the copper plate to etching, aquatint, inking and printing. The combination of hard ground etching and aquatint allowed her to work with both line and tonal values, developing the technical and expressive possibilities of her images.

The residency provided an intensive environment for experimentation and exchange, allowing Karin to deepen her knowledge of copper plate etching while developing her own artistic practice under the guidance of Jordi Rosés and Ariadna Abadal.

At the end of their stay, Karin, Nefise and Arturo presented the results of their work in a final exhibition at Art Print Residence, followed by the presentation of their course certificates.

Karin’s residency combined technical learning, individual artistic research and collaborative studio experience, offering her the opportunity to further explore the expressive possibilities of etching and aquatint on copper.

Ralph Overill — United Kingdom
Artist in Residence · March 2026

In March 2026, Ralph Overill, an artist from the United Kingdom, completed an artist residency at Art Print Residence, supported by a scholarship from the Glasgow School of Art.

During his stay, Ralph participated in an Etching Refresher Workshop, revisiting and strengthening his knowledge of traditional intaglio processes. The workshop provided an opportunity to refine different stages of etching, from plate preparation and image development to inking and printing.

He also took part in an Advanced Photopolymer Workshop, exploring the possibilities of photopolymer plates and contemporary photographic printmaking. Through this process, he was able to investigate the relationship between photographic imagery, plate-making and intaglio printing.

His residency at Art Print Residence allowed Ralph to combine traditional etching with advanced photopolymer processes, expanding his technical knowledge and exploring new possibilities for the development of his artistic practice.

We are pleased to have collaborated with the Glasgow School of Art in supporting this period of research, experimentation and professional development.

Ruth Johnston — Scotland
Artist in Residence · March 2026

In March 2026, Ruth Johnston, an artist from Scotland, completed an artist residency at Art Print Residence, focusing on the exploration of intaglio printmaking techniques.

During her stay, Ruth participated in a Soap Ground Workshop, led by Ariadna Abadal.

The workshop focused on the creative possibilities of soap ground, an intaglio technique that allows the artist to work directly and expressively on the plate, creating painterly marks, textures and a wide range of tonal effects.

Under the guidance of Ariadna Abadal, Ruth explored the different stages of the process, from preparing and applying the ground to etching and printing the plate, experimenting with the particular qualities that this technique can bring to an image.

Her residency at Art Print Residence offered her the opportunity to deepen her knowledge of intaglio printmaking while incorporating new technical and expressive possibilities into her artistic practice.

Artist in Residence · March–April 2026

From March to April 2026, Colleen Premer, an artist from the United States, completed an artist residency at Art Print Residence, combining different printmaking techniques and approaches during her stay.

Colleen participated in a Collagraph and Carborundum on Cardboard Course, led by Ariadna Abadal. During the course, she explored the creative possibilities of building textured printing plates using cardboard, collagraph materials and carborundum, experimenting with surfaces, textures, tonal values and different approaches to printing.

She also participated in the Innovations in Mokuhanga Course, an intensive program dedicated to contemporary approaches to Japanese water-based woodblock printing.

The course was led by Prof. Keiko Hara and Prof. Benjamin Selby, with Ariadna Abadal as Teacher Assistant and workshop support.

Throughout the course, Colleen explored different approaches to Mokuhanga, combining traditional Japanese woodblock printing principles with contemporary methods and experimentation.

Her residency at Art Print Residence provided an opportunity to work across two very different printmaking processes — the rich textures of collagraph and carborundum and the delicate, water-based qualities of Mokuhanga — expanding the technical and creative possibilities of her artistic practice.
