Printmaking facilities
The newly remodeled Printmaking facilities accommodate all manner of contemporary and traditional processes while remaining committed to providing a healthy, non-toxic working environment. Over 4000 square feet of space houses 3 separate but adjacent studios in screenprinting, lithography, and intaglio/relief designed to allow students to work fluidly between print media.
