Printmaking as a Practice
Ours is a receptive, communal, engaged printmaking studio environment that defines our focus on developing comprehensive, conceptual, creative, technical, and aesthetic directions without limitations. Students in Printmaking are doers and thinkers, able to operate from distinct voices, with comprehensive resources and independence assured. Open availability of classes, facilities, and faculty expertise is a critical component of this design and its delivered promise.
The Printmaking emphasis area operates as an integrated community, engaging all students in a critical environment of demonstrations, workshops, collaborations, and dialogue. Graduate and undergraduate students stimulate and complement the development of ideas within this community of artists dedicated to the practice and critique of contemporary print. Everyone is challenged; everyone benefits. Professional development, technical proficiency, and collaborative skills are promoted in the courses and enhanced through a dynamic visiting artist program that emphasizes the creation of new print works.
