History: The topic of the last ENDEGRA meeting in Dresden 2013 was the romantic era, that emanated in the 18th century, visual artists from the Dresden area started to paint the expressive and characteristic landscape Sächsische Schweiz, landscape to use it as a metaphor for an inner landscape.

ENDEGRA-Dresden2019 with the topic ”Photography in Printmaking” was a event for printmaker working with Photography. The idea is to talk about all the special problems around extreme fine greytones, Fotokorn FK, Stochastic Raster FM and how to handle this with Computer-to-Plate CtP for hand-prints in Algrafie on Etching-Presses and in Silkscreen. All that in reference to the historical development of printing technology for Photography. Of course open for all crazy experiments around the chances what photography take in to printmaking processes.
Printmaker was invite to print tests and smal editions with Photokorn-Algrafie with digital plates at Grafikwerkstatt Dresden and Silkscreen-Prints at Wildsmile-Studio. Also, professional exchange – in the sense of our old slogan: We have to have our hands in the ink when we discuss these matters!
The Excursion to Lichtdruck Leipzig has illustrate where we have our roots in technology – a unique opportunity to discover this photographic direct printing process. We had rented the colotype-printers for a exclusive demonstration with real natural halftones on a Schnellpresse. Additionally guiding tour through Museum für Druckkunst Leipzig

The Accommodation has been arranged for all participants on a very nice hostel ship in the center of Dresden. There was also an opportunity for evening-meetings, presentations and lecturs.
