Artists and Teachers comments about Sol Print Studio
Katherine Kavanaugh
Refugee Series
Sol Print Studios was created through the dedication and
determination of print-maker, Soledad Salame. She has created a community
of print-makers in Baltimore who support and nurture each other’s
self-confidence and skill development. Sol is a superb print-maker in her own right. She has brought her life-long commitment to
the printmaking process to establishing a vital group of local and regional
print-makers.
Personally, I’ve worked with Sol over the years to create
several different bodies of work -- each one unique and each one reflecting my
personal vision.
Since 2009 Sol has worked with a variety of artists, both
individually and in workshops, to aid them in defining their conceptual
concerns and technical problems with the goal of building strong bodies of
work. In addition, Sol has sought out exhibition opportunities for
the artists in various regional venues and galleries.

Split Magnolia
I often make prints in conjunction with my larger mixed media paintings as a way to visualize new images and ideas. Beginning in 2011, I made a series of Solar Plate etchings at Sol Print Studios under the guidance of Soledad Salame. Soledad adroitly directed the process from beginning drawings, through plate making and inking to final editions. Other professional artists were also working in the studio, engendering a vibrant creative atmosphere, lively discussions and new friendships. In addition, Soledad arranged for several exhibitions in the Baltimore and Washington D.C. areas, providing opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t have been available to us without the Sol Print Studios.
Oletha DeVane
Sol Print Studio yielded an inspiring body of work for me in workshops that I've taken many years for professional development. Soledad's individual attention to each artists is unique to her teaching skills and technical knowledge. Her willingness to share her well equipped studio facilities allows each of us to experiment and test ideas. It's a beautiful, well lit space and the food is exceptional!
Joyce J. Scott
Obamalicious, solar etching and Monoprint
Working wet. I used to paint and work with clay. The feeling’s very different as is the outcome’s satisfaction. My studio experience at Sol Print is so joyous because of that satisfaction. The immediacy, color blending that wet work brings, is so pleasing for this bead artist.
HELEN FREDERICK
Extinguish, Drone, Frack , solar etching
Working at Sol Print Studios with Soledad, and assistant Marisca Rivera provided such a rewarding professional experience in a beautiful light-filled studio. I was preparing for a museum exhibition ACTS OF SILENCE that explored attunement to, endangerment, and disappearance of natural environments. The knowledge the studio provided for photographic interpretations provided rich solar plate imagery on the flax papers that I had prepared ahead. Not every studio would have been able to complete this demanding edition printing. I am grateful to everyone who participated in the project.
Catherine Behrent
Dos Hijos, 2017 monoprint ,relief and solaretching
As a painter it has been an especially rewarding journey for
me over the last couple of years printmaking at Solprint Studio. With Soledad’s expertly trained eye, insight,
and instruction I have been able to produce the body of prints I was
imagining. I am also grateful to Randi
for her experienced guidance and encouragement.
The support and encouragement from all working in the studio, the
collaborative learning and the creative problem- solving atmosphere create an energy
each working day that sparks a productive experience. AND, the beautiful, inspired
luncheons each day nourish our bodies, minds, and souls. Soledad’s vision for Solprint Studio does not
end with a workshop, but includes her continued enthusiasm and support for
Solprint Studio artists as she works to create new exhibition opportunities,
venues and exposure for our prints.

I am fortunate to have participated in many workshops with Sol Print Studios. Working side by side with Soledad Salame, founder and director, and with Randi Reiss McCormack, I expanded my creative process. The workshops helped me develop my own unique language and voice as an artist. Photography, encaustic, solar etching, watercolors, collage and drawing and ceramics were presented as mediums for new ideas. Because of the small amount of people enrolled in each workshop, Sole is able to work with each artist and share her artistic knowledge and technical skills as a master printmaker. She takes the time to work with each artist individually and has the ability to listen, guide and honor each artist’s voice.

In 2008 Soledad Salame invited me to become part of a printing workshop at Sol Print Studio. I had not studied printing before that. But her patient and enthusiastic teaching style along with the intelligent assistance of Randi Reiss, helped me make an exciting beginning. The friendliness of the others in the group was also a support. Soledad also worked to provide opportunities for exhibitions and sales.

Open Call For International Print Exchange
Online Pre Registration – 31st May 2017
Print submission – 15th August 2017 (India)
'International Print Exchange Programme (IPEP), India is an initiative founded in 2013 as a platform for international printmakers for exchanging thoughts and techniques dedicated to the "artist printmakers" worldwide as a non profit initiative. IPEP enables printmakers to share their work with other printmakers and thus get a chance to have multiple exhibitions worldwide and a collection of prints from all over the world. The sole purpose of IPEP is that of sharing print and creating a network of connections with printmakers from around the world and creating an awareness of printmaking as a form of Art by creating more viewership.
From last four years we are inviting artist printmakers to contribute their work on non profit basis for IPEP and resend them a portfolio with the works of other participants. Each artist then exhibits the portfolio in their respective country and creates discussion around it as well as share the documentation with everyone through various modes of communication. However it is mandatory for each participating artist to exhibit within their own capacity. Each year art-writers are invited to analyse, document and critique the set of works and to provide a context to the process, which includes in our catelogues This year we have invited Mithu Joardar (India) and Robin Lasser (USA) as the art-writers.
For 2017, we address ‘Homeland’, an idea that evokes a feeling of belonging and aiming at an emotional appeal that crosses the ethnic borders and hierarchy of societies. The concept of space that we call as home, bonds with the root that has a collective identity. It shapes our culture strongly yet so subconsciously that we sense the pull of the bond only when distance is created. The emotional connect with the personal to global context will be the key to the endeavour. The artists would be responding to the idea through their individual perspectives to surface varied viewpoints. The topics are chosen to make a universal appeal to the people to connect from all walks of life and link aesthetics with the issues of living. IPEP has organised four programmes in past four years and more than 35 exhibitions worldwide and continues to do so. Chatterjee&Lal gallery and Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai has generously supported the Indian chapters. IPEP would be glad to receive your participation and support for the programme
