Printmaking

 

The 2,400 square feet printmaking studio is designed to accomodate students working with intaglio, lithographic, collagraphic and relief processes.

There are five presses:

    * two lithographic presses (one 30" x 50" Brand and 26" x 48" Takach).

    * three intaglio presses (one 26" x 48" Takach and two Brand presses, one 36" x 60" and one 16" x 30").

    * Four large hotplates are available for grounds application and plate wiping. A separate acid room isolates any fumes produced by various mordants used during the etching process, and a state-of-the-art ventilation system throughout the studio makes it a very safe and healthy environment in which to create image.
