There is nothing like a vacation abroad to open your eyes. Our trip to Copenhagen was no exception. The number of fine printmakers within that city rivals any other city in the world.\u00a0 Henrik Boergh recommended we visit here after giving us a grand tour of his studio a few miles away.\u00a0 Our conversation had not prepared me for the magnitude of this operation or the friendliness of the artisans running the place.\u00a0 It was all at once educational, joyful, and a great connection to the tradition we follow in fine, archival printmaking.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the highlights.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We had the pleasure of visiting the Niels Borch Jensen studios in Copenhagen over Thanksgiving (2017)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Having to find the studio by bus in Copenhagen was a grand adventure that required some planning and assistance from the many kind people there.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

One of the\u00a0most jaw-dropping photogravure from polymer plate was just tacked to their entryway bulletin board at Niels Borch Jensen’s studio.\u00a0 Alas, the photogravure master had left for the day. Next time I will plan my visit better. I would love to learn from him directly more about how he did this!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mitte gave me a fabulous tour and was most generous with her time and experience. She\u00a0 has been working at the studio as a professional fine printmaker since 1989!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We looked over a cross section of about 50 years of fine printmaking in the hour plus I visited the studio.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

In Master Printer Niels Borch Jensen’s office! This Keith Haring piece was printed at the Copenhagen studio where I was visiting in the 1990s.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mr. Jensen regularly sends his printmakers to art openings in America, Berlin, and all over the world. Mitte had just returned from an art opening in Atlanta. Thanks for a grand tour!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
