Undergraduate Printmaking
The Printmaking program has separate but contiguous studios with over 4,500 total combined square feet for lithography, intaglio, and relief printmaking. Equipped with Charles Brand and Takach Garfield presses, all printmaking studios establish a professional working environment.
In lithography there are over 130 stones ranging in size from 9" x 12" to 26" x 38", a Crown hydraulic lift, 32" x 8' stone graining sink, and chemicals for stone and plate processing. All studios are well stocked with rollers and color inks. Support for students to utilize photographic imagery exists within the College Computer Graphics Center and Photo Lab. The intaglio studio includes capabilities for etching copper and zinc, a 24" x 36" Charles Brand hot plate, isolated vented acid and solvent rooms, and includes a special area for color printing. There is a separate common room used for critique slides and paper preparation that includes flat file cabinets for paper storage. All studios are ventilated and meet OSHA standards for industrial health and safety.
Printmaking is a very active, physical, hands-on process that students learn by doing. We encourage experimental as well as traditional approaches to making prints.
