ENGLISH SUMMARY

ABOUT KYSTEN (Troms Fylkeskultursenter)

The artists at Kysten established the collective printmaking arts studio in 2008 with the valuable support of the Norwegian Arts Council and the Troms County Council.

This studio offers members and other artists a workspace with a wide range of printmaking tools and complete facilities for intaglio and relief printing.

ABOUT US

PRIMA INK is printmaking studio that aims to become a dynamic arena for visual artists and anyone interested in art. It was established autumn 2010 by artist Silvia E. Martinez with support from the Norwegian Printmakers (Norske Grafikere). Here, artists and visitors can practice and explore different techniques and create diverse types of prints.

 Prima Ink is part of the different art activities the city of Tromsø currently offers. The studio holds workshops, where you can learn different printing techniques. In addition, Prima Ink invite artists regularly to talk about their work and to use the facilities.

 Prima ink cares about the safety of its members and visitors, as well as the impact the process of printmaking has at a global scale. That is why one of the main goals is to become a greener place that uses less aggressive and more environmentally friendly materials and techniques. We are currently working on that!
