Printmaking

Make a lasting impression

Printmaking has a long history of innovation, technical skill and communication that contemporary printmakers continue to build on today. The ability to make multiples has made printmaking a medium that reaches a broad audience and is an ideal form for impactful imagery and messages. Printmaking students will develop skills in intaglio, relief, lithography, monotype, screen printing, light sensitive processes and more. Join printmaking to see your work transform in new, unexpected ways.
