📃 About BFA Printmedia
You’ll explore print media in theory and practice, researching its history while getting hands-on with etching, letterpress, bookbinding, and digital processes. Collaboration and social engagement are part of the program, pushing you to create art that matters. Alum Chelsea Wong (BFA Printmaking 2010) expresses joy as an “act of resistance” in her paintings and murals. As you expand your interests into independent projects, you can draw inspiration from our city’s many museums, galleries, alternative art spaces, publishers, and more.
🛠️ Tools for studio practice and research
In our well-equipped printmaking facilities, you’ll discover a full range of techniques that include book arts, etching, digital printing, screen printing, relief (woodcut and linocut), monotype, and letterpress. Working with a diverse faculty who’ve exhibited around the world, and learning among inquisitive, experimental peers, you’ll be challenged to reimagine the dynamic art of contemporary printmaking.
