Explore: printmaking – sustained projects and personal direction

About this course

Participants develop either self-directed or tutor-led printmaking projects, selecting processes that suit their ideas and experience. Techniques may include monoprint, drypoint, collagraph and chine-collé, alongside relief, intaglio and screen printing. The course supports sustained work such as a print series, small edition or artist’s book. Discussion and critique are used to help participants refine techniques, edit their work, consider presentation and relate printmaking to contemporary creative industries and professional practice.
