Sallie Harker — Antigua and Barbuda Artist in Residence · September 2026
Art Print Residence is delighted to welcome back Sallie Harker, an artist from Antigua and Barbuda, for her fifth artist residency with us.
During this new residency, Sallie will dedicate her time in the studio to the development and printing of a series of multi-plate woodcuts on plywood, working with multiple plywood plates and cut-out plywood plates to construct her images through different layers, shapes and colours.
Her project draws inspiration from the life and natural environment of the Caribbean, incorporating elements of its vegetation, landscapes and everyday life into her printmaking practice.
Throughout her stay at Art Print Residence, Sallie will continue to explore the expressive possibilities of woodcut on plywood, experimenting with the interaction between multiple plates, cut-out shapes, colour and layered printing.
We are especially pleased to welcome Sallie back for her fifth residency, continuing a long-standing relationship with Art Print Residence and providing a new opportunity for her to develop and expand her ongoing printmaking practice.
Maxine Hyndman & Lodovico Marveggio — Italy Artists in Residence · September 2026
In September 2026, Maxine Hyndman and Lodovico Marveggio, artists from Italy, joined Art Print Residence for an artist residency focused on experimental approaches to collagraph and carborundum printmaking.
During their stay, they are participating in a Carborundum Collagraph on Plastic Plates Workshop, led by Ariadna Abadal, based on a technical and creative proposal developed by Jordi Rosés.
Throughout the course, Maxine and Lodovico are exploring the possibilities of using plastic plates as a matrix for collagraph and carborundum, experimenting with different textures, materials, marks and tonal values.
Working on transparent plastic plates also opens up new possibilities for developing and composing the image, while the use of carborundum creates rich surfaces capable of holding ink and producing a broad range of tones and textures.
Under the guidance of Ariadna Abadal, their residency at Art Print Residence offers an intensive period of technical experimentation and creative development, exploring new possibilities within contemporary collagraph printmaking.
We are delighted to welcome Nina Vigilante from the United States to Art Print Residence for her residency this July 2026.
Nina joins us from Denison University (Ohio), where she is developing her artistic practice. During her stay, she will work as a studio assistant, gaining hands-on experience in the daily life of a professional printmaking workshop while learning the traditional techniques of copper etching (intaglio) under the guidance of Ariadna Abadal.
This residency offers a unique opportunity to combine practical studio experience with technical training, artistic research, and creative exchange within our international printmaking community.
We are excited to accompany Nina on this new chapter of her printmaking journey and look forward to sharing her progress over the coming weeks.
A warm welcome to artists Suejin Ko and Yael Carola from the United States and Germany, who join us at Art Print Residence for a new residency this July 2026.
Over the coming weeks, they will immerse themselves in the timeless language of hard-ground etching and aquatint, discovering how copper, acid, ink, and paper come together to create expressive and deeply personal prints.
Led by Jordi Rosés, and with the guidance of Ariadna Abadal, this residency is dedicated to exploration, technical mastery, and artistic dialogue. Through each stage of the process—from preparing the copper plates and biting the images to inking and printing—they will gradually transform their ideas into finished works.
We look forward to sharing their creative journey, celebrating each new discovery, and following the evolution of their prints throughout their time at Art Print Residence.
Italian Artists’ Residency from the Scuola di Grafica di Carrara – April 2026
This April, Art Print Residence had the pleasure of welcoming four talented Italian artists from the Scuola di Grafica d’Arte – Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara: Andrea Spezia, Roberta Stevanin, Lara Lubrano, and Stephania Natolo. Coming from one of Italy’s most respected institutions for contemporary printmaking education, the group joined us for an intensive residency dedicated to hard ground etching, expanding both their technical knowledge and artistic research.
Throughout the residency, the artists immersed themselves in every stage of the traditional intaglio process. Working with copper plates, they explored the expressive qualities of hard ground etching—from preparing and grounding the plates to drawing, biting, inking, and printing. The residency provided an environment where careful observation, experimentation, and craftsmanship became essential parts of the creative process.
Under the guidance of Ariadna Abadal, participants refined their individual approaches while deepening their understanding of the technical and conceptual possibilities of etching. Daily discussions, practical demonstrations, and one-to-one mentoring encouraged each artist to push beyond familiar methods and develop new visual languages through printmaking.
One of the defining aspects of the residency was the atmosphere of collaboration. Working side by side in the studio, the artists shared ideas, compared techniques, and learned from one another’s experiences. This exchange of knowledge and perspectives enriched the creative process, reinforcing the spirit of Art Print Residence as an international meeting place for printmakers.
Beyond the technical training, the residency offered time for reflection, research, and artistic dialogue. Surrounded by the peaceful Mediterranean landscape of Arenys de Munt, the artists were able to focus entirely on their practice, allowing new ideas to emerge through the rhythm of the studio.
The residency concluded with a final exhibition of the works produced during their stay, celebrating not only the completed prints but also the creative journey each artist undertook. The exhibition highlighted four distinct artistic voices united by a shared commitment to the rich tradition and contemporary possibilities of intaglio printmaking.
We are grateful to Andrea, Roberta, Lara, and Stephania for bringing their enthusiasm, generosity, and creative energy to Art Print Residence. It was a pleasure to accompany them during this stage of their artistic development, and we look forward to following their future work as their printmaking practice continues to evolve.
Andrea Spezia, Roberta Stevanin, Lara Lubrano, Stephania Natolo
Starting from an idea developed by Art Print Residence, we brought together two worlds that have been deeply connected for centuries: handmade washi paper and traditional Japanese mokuhanga woodblock printing.
We are excited to welcome our second group of printmaking artists to Japan, with participants joining us from Canada, Quebec, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and the United States.
Together, they will explore and learn ancestral Japanese techniques linked to the very origins of printmaking through an immersive experience focused on craftsmanship, natural materials, and tradition.
Art Print Residence warmly welcomes Italian artists from Scuola di Grafica di Carrara; Andrea Spezia, Roberta Stevanin, Lara Lubrano, and Stephania Natolo.
This April 2026, they join us for a residency in hard ground etching—a space to explore, experiment, and deepen their practice under the guidance of Ariadna Abadal.
Caterina Pioletti — Italy Artist in Residence · April 2026
In April 2026, Caterina Pioletti, an artist from Italy, completed an artist residency at Art Print Residence centred on the Complete Mokulito Workshop.
During her stay, Caterina participated in the course together with Kamila Kościańska, developing her practice through an intensive exploration of Mokulito, the lithographic printing technique based on wooden matrices.
The workshop was led by Ariadna Abadal, who guided the artists through the different stages of the process, from preparing and drawing on the wood plate to processing, inking and printing.
Throughout the residency, Caterina explored the distinctive graphic and expressive qualities of Mokulito, experimenting with line, texture, tonal variation and the particular interaction between the wooden surface and lithographic processes.
Her residency at Art Print Residence offered an opportunity to deepen her knowledge of this contemporary printmaking technique while developing new possibilities within her own artistic practice.
