Ink. Pull. Reveal. Perhaps more than any other two-dimensional art form, printmaking is “surface-intensive.” The element of surface variation has impact on the art, making each print the same, but unique to its paper. Technically, it is challenging and intriguing, and artistically, the printmaker shares the same creative stage with painters, illustrators and photographers.  Printmaking The Printmaking Program provides the student with a path of self-expression through technical exploration. The skills and methods for printmaking are many. You’ll learn intaglio, lithography and serigraphy; whether you’re drawing or painting on stone, etching on metal plates or using photographic or painted images to craft stenciled forms, you’ll be creating unique and dynamic surfaces. After mastering basic printmaking media, you may choose to specialize in one area or continue to work with many materials and processes. Concurrent with your ability to print, your abilities to express yourself in drawing, painting and photography will grow as well. Many of our printmaking graduates have successful careers as studio artists. Others practice printmaking while employed in art galleries, museums or in other commercial art disciplines.
