Hello, Print Friend

In this episode Miranda speaks with Deb Chaney. Deb is a Tamarind-trained lithographer and master printer, who has worked at the EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop and La Ceiba Gráfica in Coatepec in Veracruz, Mexico. She now divides her time between her three studios in Brooklyn, Paris, and Bergerac. The latter of which boasts a Voirin Marioni flat bed litho press with the capacity to print a sheet size of 120x160 cm (47x63 inches) and a large litho stone to match. We’ll talk about her journey from falling in love with lithography as an undergraduate at University of Knoxville to where she is today.VOTE VOTE VOTEhttps://votesaveamerica.com/Deb Chaney Editions https://www.debchaneyeditions.com/Deb Chaney on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/debchaneyeditionsShop Talkwww.patreon.com/helloprintfriendYOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com

In this episode Miranda speaks with Ali Norman. Whose return marks the first repeat guest in PCL’s two year history. When we last left our hero, Ali had just been bequeathed a litho press and stones by a mysterious stranger at SGCI 2018 in Las Vegas and in this episode we pick up where that story leaves off. She shares with us how destiny kept pushing her towards opening her own community print studio only to have the keys handed to her on the first of March, right before diving into the madness of COVID. She had to pivot her business in unexpected ways, and now she is about to celebrate the grand opening of Labyrinth Studios on October 1st.Ali Norman Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/alinormanprints/Labyrinth Studios Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/labyrinth.tampa/pine|copper|lime websitewww.pinecopperlime.compine|copper|lime instagramwww.instagram.com/pine.copper.limepine|copper|lime print gallerywww.pinecopperlime.com/print-gallery✨pine|copper|lime patreon✨www.patreon.com/pinecopperlime

In this episode of Miranda speaks with Pia Larsen. Pia is a Sydney based artist whose work draws from her interest in people, place and language. We talk about growing up in Sydney, chatting with Trump supporters on interstate trains, and the project she is currently working on that examines the life of a woman to whom she has attributed the pseudonym IM. IM arrived in Australia in 1948 through Australia’s Mass Resettlement Scheme and Pia examines her experiences in relation to the discourses of gender, culture, and history. Pia’s exhibition Dreams of Another Life is on display at the Mildura Arts Centre through 29 November 2020.Our sponsor McClain's Printmaking Supplieshttps://imcclains.com/Pia Larsen's Websitehttps://www.pialarsen.com.au/Dreams of Another Life at the Mildura Arts Centrehttp://milduraartscentre.com.au/Whats-On/Exhibitions/Dreams-of-Another-Life-(1).aspxShop Talkwww.patreon.com/helloprintfriendYOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com

In this episode Miranda speaks with Andrew Fingerhut. Andrew is co-founder of Raking Light Projects, an initiative which pairs tattoo artists with master printers around the world to create editions of an artistic practice usually found on skin rather than paper. Their aim is to bridge the creative values of tattooing, traditional printmaking and fine art. We talk about building a business which connects strangers, the historical links between Japanese woodblock and tattoo traditions, and why is it that printmakers love tattoos so very much.[cover art by Onnie P'leary]Raking Light Projects WebsiteRakinglightprojects.comRLP on Instgramwww.instagram.com/RakinglightprojectsAndrew's [email protected] Talkwww.patreon.com/helloprintfriendYOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com

LaToya is a Professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD whose portraits explore the intersection of race, beauty and identity in women of African descent and is the recent winner of the 2020 Janet and Walter Sondheim Artscape Prize.
