Tamarind was founded on the basis that the death of lithography as a fine art medium was eminent. The founders sought to train printers in the technical aspects of litho to be able to collaborate with artists and enhance the popularity of the medium among galleries and collectors.
Here I was in the presence of master printers from all over the globe all gathered here to reunite and connect with one another.
It was reassuring that lithography is still alive and the tradition of hand printing is still valued world wide by artists of all trades.
