These prints came all the way over from Italy and got to travel all throughout Europe on the way. They were printed in the Studio of Roberto Stelluti, a master printer in Fabriano, Italy. We worked with Roberto for our last three days in Fabriano, his studio is in an old church and he even has a fresco on the wall of his acid room. We worked on 5"x7" zinc plates that you could see yourself in. Roberto patiently put grounds on our plates and then smoked the ground with an oil lamp as the plate hung upside down.
Anywho, the prints came out great and I cant wait to try printing the plate here in the US. This print, and Roberto, are the inspiration for my thesis work this semester. More to come soon!
