Meet the Artist
Roser is a printmaker whose drawings and prints have taken her across the United Kingdom, Spain and the United States. She is fascinated with found objects in the natural world and uses them to create work that celebrates the sublime of the everyday and intimate moments when everything is still. Besides her admiration for both romanticism and environmentalism, she is also a fan of medieval artists such as Giotto and Lorenzetti. When you visit, be prepared to be charmed by her warmth, historic studio space, artistic neighborhood and her love for cherry blossoms.

- Comparative history of various printing methods.
- Learning etching, silkscreen, aquatint, sugar lift, drypoint, or photopolymer printing techniques.
- Create multicolored silkscreen products.
- Sketching and preparing your own handmade prints.
- Basic materials and tools.
Explore Barcelona
Barcelona is music and color and late nights. From lights strung between narrow alleyways to sunbathers soaking up the rays on Barceloneta Beach, it has a festive and fun atmosphere that few cities in the world can replicate. We love the unmistakable Gaudi architecture that asserts itself all over the city, as well as the charming, vibrant neighborhood of Gracia. Stroll the streets of Barcelona’s many quarters, from the artsy El Ravel to the historic Born, and feel the city’s distinct pulse around you.

My experience with Roser was everything I hoped for and so much more. She is very warm and welcoming and so knowledgable. She was very generous with her time and use of her beautiful studio. Roser showed me lots of options for different possibilities to explore during my time working with her. She really listened to me and to what I hoped to learn and do while in her studio, and she crafted a plan Read more

I cannot express fully how wonderful this experience was and how grateful I am to Roser for her kindness and the ease with which she shares her craft & process. She met with me over coffee the first day to get a sense of what I might be looking to gain from the experience then took me back to the studio to show different samples of work that would help give me a good foundation of knowledge. Over Read more

My week making art with Roser exceeded all of my expectations. Roser is a great teacher: supportive, generous, and fun! We shared a lot of laughter while she taught me her craft. I loved having the opportunity to learn in a professional printmaking studio, and brought home new skills that I can apply in my own creative practice.
This was my first trip abroad since the pandemic, and the perfect Read moreJanice F., United Kingdom
I had an amazing 4 days with Roser in her lovely studio. She arranged for us to meet over coffee in a local cafe. It was a relaxing start and Roser used the time to find out about me, my creative experience and approaches using this to suggest a plan for the week. I loved her experimental approach to printmaking which completely fitted with my own preferred way of working. I left with lots of idea Read more

It was a wonderful experience to explore a new city and be able to work in Roser’s studio. She was supportive and encouraging and allowed for a lot of experimentation. She also recommended some things in the city to explore while I was there. She was so very thoughtful and continued to experiment with me even while she had a show coming up, which she invited me to see. It was great to see her work Read more

We had an outstanding experience during our print making workshop with Roser. She is an amazing person and artist. She spared no effort nor time to ensure we took the most out of our time with her.

Working with Roser was one of the most memorable experiences in my life! She is amazing! She has a wonderful way of asking questions to understand my art, my ideas and goals for my VAWAA. She then designed the experience I was seeking. Meeting other artists who visited the studio when I was there also added so much enjoyment and inspiration. Finally, one of favorite memories was when Roser and I h Read more

Roser’s passion and talent for art and etching made these three days an intense, colorful and wonderful experience. I had no idea (but a strong need for new inspiration) when I started the course of what it required. Thanks to Roser’s high professionalism and gentleness I now have some basic technique and imagine how I can include them in my practice. I highly recommend the course and would love t Read more

This VAWAA experience with Roser was exactly what I needed. She is a patient teacher who seems to know when to guide and when to let go. I learned printing techniques but more importantly, I was inspired to be creative. Working in her studio along side other artists was inspiring. I am taking home the desire to make art everyday. I had lost touch with how crucial it is to my well being. A week was Read more

Working with Roser was amazing. I learned new printmaking techniques from Roser the teacher, gained insight into creative thinking from Roser the artist, and had a wonderful time with Roser the awesome human being.

Roser's studio is located in Gracia which is a lovely arty bohemian part of Barcelona - she has specially made printing presses that allow you to go big! Roser is very warm and friendly and let's you try out all your ideas and is very encouraging and generous with her time and knowledge.

This experience was incredible - truly one of the biggest highlights of our 1 year RTW trip. Roser was a wonderful teacher. She walked us through every step of the print making process and tailored our experience so that our two girls (6 and 11) could easily pick it up and enjoy the experience as much as the adults did. We created 2 large beautiful pieces and a ton of smaller pieces so we’ll all Read more

Yes! This was incredible. Our first day, we had a quick coffee and visit in her studio to review my hopes for this VAWAA and what it could entail. Her space is unique and beautiful. Her body of work truly covers all that printmaking has to offer and I felt that I had the full scope of printmaking at my fingertips. I must admit, that I was a little timid to start, but Roser was so helpful and intui Read more
