These short videos offer a glimpse inside an Ink & Paper Italy retreat — from the printmaking process itself to the rhythm of daily life in Umbria. Together, they show how ideas take shape, how days unfold, and what your home for a week will feel like to live and work in.
From Sketch to Finished Print
What is etching? This three-part series helps to demystify the printmaking process, showing how an image moves from an initial sketch through to a finished print. Ink & Paper Italy uses non-toxic
etching processes. Your plate will be pre-prepared and waiting for you! Filed, polished and ground applied- ready for you to begin drawing/incising into.
