In most Hispanic Cultures the word printmaking translates into grabado, a word whose literal translation means relief, etching, and engraving (also means recording, the more you know) all in one. A more accurate translation would be \u201csomething that physically affects the surface of something else.\u201d This word defines the discipline of traditional printmaking, and the artist who proudly learns it then earns the title of \u201cgrabador\u201d. In spanish, when we end nouns with -ando\/-endo, you can transform them into a present continuous verb. For example: trabajar (to work) would become trabajando (working). Therefore, \u201cGrabando\u201d becomes the activity of being currently engaged in printmaking. Puerto, the first half of the name of the country Puerto Rico, means port in english. When combining both Puerto and Grabando, the phrase becomes an invitation to come to the port where printmaking is happening, as well as a way of referencing the island and it being the home of the next SGCI conference.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
