PRINTMAKING

Printmaking immerses students in traditional and contemporary methods, processes, and ideas related to the constantly evolving medium of visual art and design.

Through a rich, interdisciplinary studio experience, students will explore intaglio, lithography, relief printing, screen printing, monotype, letterpress, book making, artist publications, digital, and 3D printing. Our program values community, exposing students to diverse perspectives as well as a wide range of technologies. By delving into tradition and focusing on experimentation and the potential of the multiple, students develop a personal voice to communicate ideas and themes through their prints.
