Printmaking makes a vital contribution to the language of contemporary art practice. Recent advances in printmaking technology have broadened the definitions of the medium, enabling artists to combine traditional print processes with digital media towards a wide range of creative solutions. Our superb printmaking facilities provide exciting opportunities for you to develop your existing practice through a broad range of traditional and new print technologies.
