New! Beyond the Matrix: Experimental Printmaking

Step beyond traditional printmaking and discover new creative possibilities through experimentation and innovation. This studio course encourages artists to combine printmaking techniques, materials, and processes in unexpected ways to create unique, one-of-a-kind prints. Students will explore layering, transparency, texture, repetition, image transfer, collage, mixed media, and the creative possibilities that emerge through combining multiple printmaking processes. A variety of experimental approaches to relief, intaglio, planographic, and transfer-based printmaking will be introduced, encouraging students to expand traditional techniques through contemporary materials and methods. Rather than emphasizing the production of editions, this course focuses on process, discovery, and personal expression. Through demonstrations, guided experimentation, and individual exploration, students will develop new technical skills while discovering their own visual language. Some printmaking experience is helpful but not required. Students must be open to creative exploration.
