I just came back from Chile, I was visiting my family and decided to take a printmaking class. The experience was great and I had the opportunity to meet a few artists at Taller de Artes Visuales (TAV) which is managed by the friends of "La Pica del Grabado" - I did some Xylography, Reduction Woodcut and Chine Colle with my friends Marco Durán and Campana. Also I was able to chat with a very experienced printmaker, Mr. Carlos Donaire.
The workshop was great and the setup very nice and old school, it was great to be able to use the presses and the equipment at TAV, we managed the cold winter in Santiago with a small space-heater and the "mates" (a tipical hot drink) served by Campana.
