You will, by regular study in the studio, explore how print making informs or expresses your ideas and its relationship to your personal practice. You will consider its position within contemporary art practice.
Printmaking is a vital, constantly evolving medium and over the period of the year you will learn how different processes collide with your own practice. As you develop personal projects, with guidance, you will build on the core skills of drawing, manipulating photographic imagery for use in print and personal/critical research, this will broaden your knowledge and enable you to progress as an artist printmaker.
