Next to the palace that was once the home of Jacopo Robusti, known as Tintoretto, the Bottega del Tintoretto was founded in 1986 by a group of artists with the intention of preserving and spreading the tradition of art printing in Venice. Since then, the atelier has been promoting and keeping this art alive, offering annual and intensive courses to artists and enthusiasts, allowing them to approach engraving, woodcut, lithography and other more experimental techniques developed during the 20th century.
The atelier houses a library of more than 3,000 titles devoted to the history of printing, and is equipped with nineteenth-century machinery for graphic art, which is still in use.
Also located here for the past few years is La Stamperia: a small publishing house that provides art printing tools and the skill of its handprinters to transform the ideas of local and international artists into concrete projects.
Limited-run art publications and paper artifacts with custom graphics are produced, all designed and produced with the rigor and passion characteristic of fine craftsmanship.
The workshop is a true place for the promotion of culture, reading, art of bookbinding and craft typography.
