Italian Artists' Residency from the Scuola di Grafica di Carrara}talian Artists' Residency from the Scuola di Grafica di Carrara This April, Art Print Residence had the pleasure of welcoming four talented Italian artists from the Scuola di Grafica d’Arte – Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara: Andrea Spezia, Roberta Stevanin, Lara Lubrano, and Stephania Natolo. Coming from one of Italy's most respected institutions for contemporary printmaking education, the group joined us for an intensive residency dedicated to hard ground etching, expanding both their technical knowledge and artistic research. (accademiacarrara.it) Throughout the residency, the artists immersed themselves in every stage of the traditional intaglio process. Working with copper plates, they explored the expressive qualities of hard ground etching—from preparing and grounding the plates to drawing, biting, inking, and printing. The residency provided an environment where careful observation, experimentation, and craftsmanship became essential parts of the creative process. Under the guidance of Ariadna Abadal, participants refined their individual approaches while deepening their understanding of the technical and conceptual possibilities of etching. Daily discussions, practical demonstrations, and one-to-one mentoring encouraged each artist to push beyond familiar methods and develop new visual languages through printmaking.
