Printmaking


Printmaking Studio

Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper. Printmaking normally covers only the process of creating prints that have an element of originality, rather than just being a photographic reproduction of a painting.







Have you ever come up with a fantastic drawing?  Have you wanted to make more than one?  The printmaking studio is the right studio for YOU!

The idea of printmaking is to make more than ONE...otherwise another studio might be a better option.


In the printmaking studio, you can make;
MONO PRINTS - one single print
or
EDITION- a series of identical images.

There are several choices you have in the printing making studio.

Here are instructions for printmaking

*What can you do with pattern paper?  Take it to drawing, collage, painting?  Build a structure?
*Do you see the pattern printed paper?





*How many studios did this artwork visit? *Do you see a printed border/frame?  I could have used crayon, color pencil or marker for the sky but printmaking created pattern and more WOW!
