Classes in Printmaking are taught in a hybrid workshop format that emphasizes personal investigation as well as collaborative conceptual engagement. Our primary goal is to collectively guide our students in developing a strong personal vision and instill self-confidence, while building a concise portfolio of professional works. You will be given a sound technical background in a variety of tools, methods, and techniques to cultivate a strong studio practice and explore new, authentic research, now and beyond graduation. We balance hard skills of artistic inquiry and print industry with transferrable skills and philosophical inquiry to enrich your concepts and artistic production. Immerse yourself in a community workshop atmosphere, interact with other serious, highly motivated artists, and share visual concepts and technical investigations. Service-learning projects, such as producing prints and t-shirts for non-profit clientele, help our students discover where their creativity is wanted and needed in their communities and discover possibilities for their careers.
