Eunkang Koh (Korea) received a Bachelor and Master in Fine Arts from Hong-ik University in Korea, and a Master of Fine arts from California State University in Long Beach, USA. She is a professor of printmaking and drawing at the University of Reno in Nevada, USA since 2007. During two weeks in August he was a resident at the electrolytic etching workshop.
Eunkang was not familiar with the electrolytic etching processes, but his experience as a master printmaker enabled him to understand and apply the electrolytic etching methods with ease. He learned the history of electrolytic etching, the theoretical foundations of electrolysis, the basic principals of electro-etching, its practical applications in the graphic arts, and the benefits of using non-toxic printmaking techniques. At the same time, fascinated by Amparo’s exotic garden plants surrounding the residency, she has created some beautiful watercolors in her traveling note-book.

Eunkang Kok Speaks about her Residency
Electro-etching workshop/residency has been a wonderful experience for me. The residency is located in a rural area of Canary Island, yet it is not far from the
beautiful city, Las Palmas. The island will inspire you with amazing nature and landscape. You will learn different intaglio techniques with electro etching
during the workshop and residency. I always have been interested in non-toxic printmaking approach. This is definitely a step forward in terms of non-toxic
area in the printmaking. I learned so much in a short period of time and made tons of art! Alfonso is a great teacher and host. I had a great time with Alfonso
and his family and friends. Thank you so much!
