Arianna stands as one of the handful of Venetian craftsmen who practice 15th-century style printing. A visit to Venice would be incomplete without this leap into the past, back to the days of the ‘Serenissima’.
Arianna invites you to her art workspace, a traditional print shop located in Fondamenta dei Ormesini in the Cannaregio neighborhood - where you can witness an entire print session with her. The ambiance, hues, fragrances, motions, and the labor behind a single printing will astound you.
She will exhibit the comprehensive process of creating an art print; from the initial sketch, the various stages of implementation to achieve an engraving on copperplate, until you witness the final print before your eyes.
