s3e86 opening a printshop in Chiang Mai with Miranda Metcalf and Tim Pauszek

In this episode of Platemark, Ann speaks with Miranda Metcalf and Tim Pauszek about their new venture, Hello, Print Friend Studios in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Listeners will recall Miranda hosts our sister pod, Hello, Print Friend. In addition to the podcast, she also is producing documentaries about printmaking hotspots, beginning with Oaxaca and Puerto Rico (with more to come). Together, Miranda and master printer Tim have settled in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where they have founded a new printmaking studio. They talk about the challenges and joys of setting up a printmaking residency and studio in their adopted city while giving credit to their friend, artist Kitikong Tilokwattanotai and to the local community for supporting the new studio. They talk about the welcoming nature of the Thai people, the rich art and culture to be found in Chiang Mai (particularly among its 12 printmaking studios), and the unique opportunities for artists in their residency program. Miranda and Tim also expand on their future plans for the studio and invite artists and enthusiasts to join them in Chiang Mai.
