Course Overview

Elective Option for BA Hons Creative Arts*

This brand new programme of study aims to help you build on the skills and knowledge gained from earlier printmaking courses and develop your practice to enable you to produce creative solutions using printmaking techniques.Your tutor will work with you to devise a programme that will be designed by you, and by the end of the programme you will have at least four suites of prints to present for assessment towards a degree. To do this course it is strongly recommended that you have access to a printing press. A modest table top press is sufficient or access to a press in your vicinity. (A list of workshop venues in the UK is listed in the course guide).

Printmaking 3 Advanced is not really a ‘course’ in the conventional sense at all - there’s no course materials and no set programme of study. Rather, you will be working with a tutor and collaborate with them in designing your own individual printmaking programme using whatever techniques and themes your choice. Your tutor will act as your mentor and supervisor and will respond to the work you produce as part of the agreed programme.This programme aims to help you build on the skills and knowledge gained from the earlier printmaking courses and develop your practice to enable you to produce creative solutions using printmaking techniques.


The aims of the printmaking course are to:

  • Devise a series of proposals leading to project outcomes that employ a breadth of creative solutions, inventiveness, ideas and techniques
  • investigate the theories and concepts underlying the chosen projects and complete the projects making innovative use of means of expression and materials
  • Demonstrate personal investigation and contextual enquiry on either an art movement in which printmaking played a significant role or an artist/printmaker. Whichever, this must be contextualised in relation to your own work
  • Demonstrate a depth of knowledge, and an appreciation of uncertainty and ambiguity in contextual studies.
