• Discover the vital contribution that printmaking has made to the language of contemporary art practice, and how recent technological advances have broadened its definition.
  • Much of their time will be spent independently researching and undertaking your own practice-based projects. They will receive technical inductions for the use of both traditional and emerging processes (including relief printing and intaglio, screenprint, lithography, photo-based and digital media) and be free to experiment with and combine, them in their creative work.
  • Throughout the course, students will have support from experienced print and fine art practitioners and benefit from working in a supportive and critically informed art school. The connection with the MA Printmaking course at Camberwell College of Art creates opportunities for exchange crits and gives them the chance to build networks with fellow artists. And they will get a window onto the professional art world through our visiting lecturers, field trips, and links to galleries.
  • The series of workshops, tutorials, seminars, critiques, presentations, and lectures, will allow them to develop research skills that they will use on this course and in your future career. In addition, they will gain experience in other areas of professional practice including curating and critical writing.
  • Our links with local printmaking and art organizations, such as Cambridge Original Printmakers, the Curwen Print Study Centre, Aid & Abet, Changing Spaces, Wysing Arts Centre and Cambridge Artworks, will give you the chance to take part in portfolio reviews, live projects and professional exhibitions.
