The maximum size of a matrix will be 38 x 58 cm. The printing paper, on the other hand, may be 50x70cm.
At the end of every finished work, a series of 8 copies will be printed, signed and numbered. Four of these will become property of KAUS.

1st session: August 3th to August 14th 2010 – Chalcography techniques advanced course prof. Rossano Guerra – ex engraving teacher Academy of Fine Arts, Urbino
This course wants to give students the possibility to study chalcography techniques further in depth (etching, aquatint, soft paint, pen style, painting style, dry tip and black style) and experiment with mixed techniques.
The final aim is developing an independent graphic language, which will allow a more complete freedom of expression through the command of technical methods, a more complete freedom of expression.

2nd session: August 18th to August 30th 2010 - Mezzotinto techniques advanced course prof. Prof. Christopher Nowicki – engraving teacher Academy of Fine Arts of Wroclaw (PL)
The beauty and unique qualities of mezzotint prints have captivated artists and viewers for centuries.  The velvety blacks and smooth gray tones cannot be attained by any other method. The goal of this workshop is to provide students with all the technique needed to create mezzotint prints. All areas of mezzotint will be examined including history, tools, papers, inks, working the plate and printing. Proper tools will be discussed with methods for sharpening and care. Papers and inks will be examined in detail and printing methods will be compared to other intaglio techniques. On completion of this workshop students will be able to produce mezzotints.

SYMPOSIUM 2010
THE LUCK CONTINUES BETWEEN THE RAPHAEL ENGRAVING

Urbino  5 - 31 luglio 2010
Hanging Garden of the former Monastery of St. Clare

 

Our initiative involves the participation of seven artists coming from different countries invited to spend a month in our town to face an artistic challenge demanding a special dedication: to  be inspired by Raffaello for their engravings. For many centuries engravers worked on Raffaello’s paintings with the  purpose to spread his works. Nowadays engraving is an exclusively expressive means so it is really interesting   to see how still today an artist  can be influenced by Raffaello without the obligation of the reproductive accuracy.
Our guests will be helped by a technician assistant  and they will take  advantage of our  workshops freely. The participation is free and it includes the technical help in the workshops, the cost of the consumption materials(matrix,paper ink……..) and accommodation too.
In return each student must engrave and print a graphic work in ten copies, five of them will be given to sponsors, three to KAUS and two copies for artists.
The maximum size of the matrix will be 50X 66 cm.
