This program develops technical abilities as well as creative methods for the visual articulation of individual concepts and emotions. A full range of relief, intaglio and lithographic techniques are taught on all levels in a spacious, well-equipped and efficiently organized studio.

Students learn the skillful use of numerous essential printmaking tools, materials and processes and acquire an understanding of their characteristics and appropriateness to varying image-making demands. The development of a clarity of vision, purpose and self-direction is supported by discussions and critical analyses in both group and individual contexts. Printmaking as a larger cultural force is addressed through the examination of original prints, fine art and commercial, antique and contemporary.
