This printmaking base looks like a fantastic place to stay and to work on your printmaking process. It’s an interesting area where traditional homes mix with the new artist village.

Artists come here from all over the world if they are awarded a residency. The photos are quite inspirational. What a great community environment this would provide for focusing on my work. If I were awarded a residency, I would work on relief printing like woodblocks. I would visit the local art galleries and museums to study the art of this region and learn techniques from their art.

The Base will provide free technical personnel services, quantitative print equipments and materials, international artists’ village for living and cafeteria.

The print shop will let you dabble in lithography, etching, screen printing, and woodcutting.
