Australian artist Jini Grinwald was the inspiration for this print. She saw some flamenco dance drawings in my sketchbook and said, “This one would make a lovely liquid-metal print…” See whether you agree:

English Printmaker, Spanish Fisherman, Village Up in Arms
Posted in Maureen's Work, tagged Bive, Granada, Juan Carlos Romera, Maureen Booth, printmaking courses, printmaking in Spain, printmaking studio, printmaking techniques, short film, Spain on October 30, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Our video/cineasta friend, Juan Carlos Romera, has taken advantage of the new YouTube service to upload the complete version of “Bive,” a 38-minute short film that he made in 2005. In that film I play “Maureen,” an English printmaker who falls in love with a Spanish fisherman. The film is essentially about the storm it causes in a little fishing village on the coast of Almería province.
We had such a great time doing it that I decided that in my next encarnation I want to be an actress. Here’s the link to see it (for free) on the off chance that you might find it amusing:
Mike did a story on the making of “Bive” (Printmaking Makes the Movies) and published it here on World Printmakers.

Three Intensive Days Working with Bremen Artists
Posted in Workshops, tagged Brenda Eubank-Ahrens, International School Bremen, Maureen Booth, printmaking Granada, printmaking Spain, printmaking studios, printmaking techniques, solarplate etching on June 19, 2012| 1 Comment »
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:

A Breath of Fresh Irish Air Via Boston
Posted in Workshops, tagged collaborative printmaking, cursos de grabado, Dave McDonnell, estudio de grabado, Granada, Maureen Booth, printmaking Spain, printmaking techniques, solar-plate printmaking, solarplate photogravure, Spain on May 20, 2012| 2 Comments »
The McDonnells, Dave Sr. and Jr., were here last week from Boston. Maureen’s studio en the Sierra Nevada foothills outside Granada was just one more stop on Dave senior’s longtime quest for the great photogravure print. The novelty of Maureen’s approach this time was that they were going to use solar plates to create images based on four-color CMYK separations. It was an experiment for all concerned. (more…)

What’s a Gallinero? And why would you want to stay there?
Chicago printmaker, Cathy Naro, who was here last year around this time, has returned for another workshop with Maureen. This time they’re working on combining some of the solar-plate prints Cathy made last time with liquid-metal techniques. (more…)

I love this time of year. Yesterday Mike walked down the river road to the village bakery and took his camera with him. Here’s what was happening in the river:
The Story of This Print: Voladores/Flyers
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged etching liquid metal, Granada, Maureen Booth, National Arts Club, NY Society Etchers, printmaking courses, printmaking Spain, printmaking studio, printmaking techniques, printmaking workshops, Voladoresprintmaking lessons on February 29, 2012| Leave a Comment »
It was autumn and the air was full of things flying around. What flies around my garden ends up flying around my head. This was the first print in which I mixed etching and liquid-metal techniques. First I varnished the zinc plate and etched the drawing. Then I added a soft ground and pressed different elements into it to achieve texture and content. Finally I used Nural 21 liquid metal to create the bird, which stands out in relief. There is no aquatint on this plate.
This Voladores print was exhibited at the National Arts Club in New York in 2010, part of an exhibit mounted by tireless printmaking advocate, Stephen Fredericks, and the New York Society of Printmakers.

Cathy and Maureen review one of Cathy's new prints in Maureen's studio in Granada
In my Liquid Metal Printmaking video I use a two-tube epoxy adhesive (“cold metal solder”) called “Nural 21″ sold by a Spanish firm called Pattex. As it turned out, this product is not available in the U.S.A. and some American artists have been frustrated trying to find a suitable substitute. Now Cathy Naro has found it. I’ll let her tell you about it: (more…)
