Printmaking
— Christy Wyckoff, Faculty Member
The Printmaking department boasts one of the most energetic studios on campus. Students from all areas of the College explore image-making in a supportive community environment. This versatile program immerses students in traditional and contemporary ideas and processes, emphasizing high standards of craftsmanship and professional practice.
Printmaking is a rich interdisciplinary studio experience for majors and non- majors alike, and supports a broad range of approaches including intaglio, lithography, relief printing, screen-printing, monotype and letterpress. The program provides exposure to the rich history and diverse traditions of print, and an engaging program of visiting artists supports the coursework.
Within the supportive community of the Gordon Gilkey Print Center, students find their voice and discover how they fit into the larger creative world outside the College.
