Instructor Kenny Nguyễn

While living and studying in the States, Nguyen has been strongly captivated by the physicality of printmaking combined with bookbinding. Together, these two techniques have soon become Nguyen’s greatest tools of the trade.

He has been assisting Master Printer Rhoda Rosenberg with large intaglio printing process as well as staying under her wings as an apprentice. Kenny’ works have been collected by The Boston Printmakers, The Boston Public Library Print Department, and The Southern Graphics Council International.
