Artists gravitate towards printmaking because it offers choices about mark making and playing with colour that are not available in other media. Using drawing as a jumping off point, students will explore linocut, dry point on plexiglass, collagraph, and polyester plate lithography, and gaining an understanding of relief and intaglio techniques. If you love to learn process and to use a variety of tools and materials, you’ll finish each class energized and exhilarated by the possibilities of expressing yourself through print.
