Explore: printmaking – resolve and present your work

About this course

The course develops a small printmaking project through repetition, editing and refinement. Participants may continue with monoprint, relief, drypoint, screen print or mixed media processes, working towards greater control and more deliberate decisions about composition, materials and technique. Small-group discussion and critique are used to evaluate how the work communicates. The course also considers selecting and refining finished pieces, preparing them for sharing or display, and reflecting on possible next steps.
