Applications are now open for our 2027 residencies at Hello, Print Friend Studios in Chiang Mai.

We are now scheduling artists from February through June 2027.

This residency is dedicated to traditional lithography, offering artists the time, space, and support to fully engage with the process. Lithography is a deeply collaborative printmaking practice, historically used by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Käthe Kollwitz, and David Hockney—and continues to be a vital medium for contemporary artists today.

Whether your goal is to learn lithography from the ground up, deepen your existing practice, or leave with a finished edition ready for your collectors, this is a space to do it with full support.

Your residency fee includes housing in a modern studio apartment directly behind the print studio. Each apartment has a private bathroom, balcony, desk, wardrobe, and small fridge, so you can settle in and focus on your work. Partners and children are welcome.

You will also get access to the studio and all materials, along with 35 hours per week working one on one with our master printer and assistant.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to commit to your practice, this is it.

Apply now through the link in bio or send us a message with any questions.

Applications close 15 June 2026.

We were honored and delighted to welcome Reinaldo Gil Zambrano as the first artist in residence at Hello, Print Friend Studios in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Chiang Mai is a vibrant hub of artistic culture set in a tropical paradise. During our residency months, temperatures range from 20°C to 32°C (70°F to 90°F) under sunny skies.

The city’s international airport ensures convenient travel for artists arriving from almost anywhere in the world.

While with us, you’ll have the chance to expand your artistic practice, draw inspiration from golden temples, savor world-renowned cuisine, and discover why Thailand is celebrated as “The Land of Smiles.”

Our residency is equipped with a lithography press (56 x 76 cm) and an etching press (80 x 120 cm). We can produce and print editions of stone and plate lithography, relief prints, as well as drypoint etchings and monotypes.

Adjacent to the studio is an exhibition space (85 square meters). Residents are welcome to propose events in this space.

We’re beyond thrilled to share the teaser trailer for our upcoming documentary, 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚: 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙋𝙪𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙤 𝙍𝙞𝙘𝙤 🇵🇷✨

This film explores Puerto Rico’s vibrant printmaking and graphic arts culture, highlighting its vital role in amplifying voices and confronting contemporary issues.

Narrated by Fraixa Albizu Rodriguez @thelastprint, the story traces printmaking on the island—from its roots as a tool of propaganda during Puerto Rico’s transition to a U.S. colony in the late 19th century to its powerful present as a medium of protest, community, and self-expression.

🎬 Directed by: @rgzprints
🎥 Produced by: @mirandakielland
📽️ Shot & edited by: @cr__art and @armandvelazco

This film wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our incredible printmaking community, a few especially generous individuals, and our institutional partners: @speedball_art @printaustin @sgcinternational 🙏

📅 Expected completion: Autumn 2025
📽️ Know a venue that might want to host a screening? DM us—we’d love to connect!

We had an incredible two weeks in the studio with artist Alejandra Carrillo, creating a series of beautiful lithographs together at Hello, Print Friend Studios!

This piece, “Canicas y Lagunas,” is the first edition Alejandra completed during her residency with us: a richly layered four-color lithograph full of joy, atmosphere, and her amazing draftsmanship. We’re so proud of what came out of these weeks together and excited to share more from her time in Chiang Mai soon.

This week Miranda coming to you from El Barrio Artsspace @elbarriosartspace in New York City, where we recently screened Impresiones de Resistencia: Printmaking in Puerto Rico at the Rafael Tufiño Printmaking Workshop @rafaeltufinoprintmakers

This conversation was recorded on-site, and Miranda was joined by artist Oliver Rios @oriosdesigns a printmaker and filmmaker who documents the stories of the Puerto Rican diaspora in the city. He helped guide this interview, so a big thank you to Oliver for being part of this moment.

Our guest is Nitza Tufiño @nitzatufino an artist, educator, and one of the key figures behind the workshop itself. As the daughter of legendary printmaker Rafael Tufiño, her life and work are deeply rooted in the history of Puerto Rican printmaking and the cultural movement of El Barrio.

In this conversation, Nitza shares what it means to build and sustain a collective space for artists: one grounded in community, education, and cultural memory. We talk about the role of printmaking as a tool for connection and resistance, the importance of creating spaces where people can see themselves reflected, and the responsibility artists have to carry history forward.

This episode is about more than printmaking. It’s about community, resilience, and the power of art to bring people together.

Patrick Wagner of Black Heart Press with his 1904 Maschinenfabrik Johannisberg Schnellpresse: a 7.5 ton printing press that continues to shape the way artists think about print today.

Patrick shares what it means to build a life around a machine like this. From the physical reality of working on a press of this scale to the reason artists travel from around the world to print on it.
