Introduction
The 2007 China Sanbao

significant opportunities to build professional linkages. The
international delegation of thirty artists will be involved in an
exhibition, symposium and tour that will include Shanghai University,
the China Academy of Fine Art in Hangzhou, the Jingdezhen Sanbao

Yunnan Academy of Art in Kunming and other locations as listed on the
itinerary. Nineteen of the participating artists are from the United
States, with eleven additional artists from Canada, Belgium, Finland,

The project offers superb
opportunities to establish important international linkages, not only
with artists and institutions in China, but between the participating
artists and their countries. Outcomes could include (but are not
limited to) one-person and group exhibitions, collaborative portfolio
projects, conference sessions and publications. A color catalogue of
the exhibition will be published.
The symposium and exhibition will be the subject of articles in
Graphic Impressions, the SGC newsletter and Contemporary
Impressions, the journal of the American Print Alliance, as well

It is expected that this project will play a significant role
in the professional opportunities of the participating artists.

Workshop
The 2007 China
Sanbao International Printmaking Exhibition, Symposium and Tour is
organized by the China Sanbao Ceramic Art Institute at Jingdezhen,
which is the premier international ceramic artist residency in China.
Founded in 2000 by Jiansheng Li, the Sanbao Ceramic Art
Institute opens the art world to the classical porcelain of Jingdezhen
and the thousand year history of Chinese Imperial-ware. This
printmaking workshop is the first of its kind in China. It is an
exploration of multiple art-making processes and about pushing the
boundaries of the artistic self within new environments.
to make use of
other skills not common to them, to work in a space outside of their
own environment and culture. Sanbao is providing a unique opportunity,
in an open atmosphere, for artists to explore new methods and
directions. Artists will
send images to the workshop to be made into traditional transfer
decals that can be used in conjunction with local ceramic ware,
blending and reinventing contemporary Western imagery with traditional
Chinese materials. Additionally,
the Sanbao workshop will provide participants with demonstrations of
new techniques in brushwork and clay.
The printmaking exhibit will tour to the above three institutions. The symposium will be held at the Jingdezhen Sanbao Ceramic Art Institute on May 26, 2007 at the International Center. The exhibition will open on May 27, 2007 in the Ming town of Yaoli, a heritage site of historical architecture in the mountains near Jingdezhen
