What’s a “gallinero” and why should you want to stay there?
I say “artists,” rather than “art students,” as these young people from Brenda Eubank-Ahrens’ art class at the International School of Bremen functioned with all the maturity, concentration, enthusiasm and talent of fully-fledged artists. (Have a look at some of their solarplate work in the album of photographs which follows. This is only the monochrome work from the first two days. We didn’t print their color stuff till the last day and Mike didn’t have the chance to shoot it, as he was busy preparing the big end-of-course barbecue.) This was the third year running that Brenda has come to Granada with a group of 17-18 year olds, and it was, again, a great pleasure to work with them.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s about 60,000 words on our three-day solarplate experience in my studio in Granada:

Printmaking Courses in Spain 
The trip to Granada really widens our horizons, and doing the printmaking workshop with Maureen in her fascinating studio adds to the depth of our art field trip. Again this year, we had a three day opportunity to focus on learning new techniques, developing new ways of seeing, and experimenting with printmaking – coming up with surprising and rewarding results. I get to work right along with my students which is a chance I do not have very often. It is a valuable experience for us all. Thank you.
