Why We Love This Unique Experience

Step into the enchanting world of traditional Venetian art with a unique demonstration of art printmaking, led by a talented artisan dedicated to preserving the techniques of the 15th century. This captivating experience, set in a charming antique-style printing house, offers a rare glimpse into the time-honored craft of chalcographic engraving and printmaking, all while surrounded by the picturesque atmosphere of Venice.

During this 20-minute demonstration, participants will witness the intricate process behind creating an art print, starting from the initial drawing to the final printed masterpiece. The artisan will share fascinating insights into each step, making it easy to understand the skills and techniques involved. Attendees will have the chance to see the vibrant colors, hear the sounds of the printing process, and even catch a scent of the materials used, creating an immersive experience that encapsulates the essence of Venetian artistry. While visitors will observe and engage with questions, this is a passive experience designed for appreciation and learning.

This art print demonstration not only offers a mesmerizing journey into Venetian culture but also makes for an exceptional gift for art lovers and hobbyists alike. It's a perfect way to inspire creativity, enjoy a unique cultural experience, and bring home memorable insights from the heart of Venice. Treat someone special to this unforgettable experience that beautifully bridges the past and present in the world of art!

Experience Overview:

Demonstration Of Art Print

Arianna is one of the few remaining Venetian artisans who still prints like in the 15th century. If you plan to visit Venice you cannot miss the opportunity to travel through time and return to the age of the "Serenissima".
You can meet Arianna at her art studio, an antique-style printing house in Fondamenta dei Ormesini in the Cannaregio district and attend an entire press session with her: you will be surprised by the atmosphere, the colors, the scents, the gestures , from the work behind a single print.

The entire work behind an art print will be shown: starting from the initial drawing, the various processing steps will be explained to obtain a chalcographic engraving, until the actual print is under your eyes.
