Printmaking house, coffee shop and a gallery... In Ankara? Introducing you Tosca Art Design!12/7/2023 Hello again for those seekers of art in Ankara! As we promised, we are here to deliver you our discoveries about unique and authentic artists, places to explore the taste of art in the capital city. This time, our destination for you is Tosca Art&Design. It was founded by an artist in 2015 and now operates as a coffee house, an atelier for printmaking courses and activities, and as an art gallery for the artists. The owner of the place is as we said, an artist as well and she offers courses for those who wants to learn about printmaking. For this blog, our team decided to visit the place and ask if we can have a proper shoot there to introduce what is Tosca and who are involved in the creation and management of this unique place that offers art, coffee, happiness, a warm place to hang out and home to many artists’ exhibitions! Tosca has a unique presence once you enter the place. We were welcomed by the smiling face of the staff that prepares coffees, then we are directed to the printmaking studio. In the basement, we reach the gallery that is used for several exhibitions. Not only these, but also CONCERTS happen here as well. Finding Tosca in Ankara is like finding a mirage in the desert, but we are here to share it with everybody to have this experience. For this post, we depict you the process of printmaking handled by a young talented artist, who helped us demonstrating the carving, printing and having the final art piece. Starting back from the beginning, we went to Tosca on Thursday around 5 pm. The place was half full of people that preferred working with their laptops, other groups were there to spend time, enjoy their freshly brewed coffees; and as you can imagine, we were there to explore… Before we got into our task, we ordered some coffees and tasteful Pasteis de Natas. As we entered the printmaking studio, there were lots of beautiful art pieces of the artists, and we were not alone with a cute dog sleeping peacefully in its couch in the studio. So, it can be said that place was also pet-friendly for those who consider visiting, but note that this is just our observation! As we were checking out the materials, mediums, and the artworks; the artist was preparing the tools for carving and the ink for printing. The rest of the story will be told to you as you slide down each picture below, please enjoy! ;) Website of Tosca Art&Design: https://www.instagram.com/toscaartdesign/?hl=en
