Printmaking
The University of Wyoming printmaking
studios are equipped with three Brand etching presses, one Takach Garfield
lithographic press, a Fuch’s and Lang lithographic press and a collection of
lithographic stones that includes many stones larger than 20” x 30”.
Students work in traditional relief, intaglio and lithographic processes as
well as non-toxic and new variations on traditional print media.
Beginning students are introduced to the history of printmaking, explore the
range of printmaking media and discuss the common concepts and contemporary
issues of printmaking media. Intermediate and advanced students continue
in-depth exploration of media and materials while developing their work
conceptually. The goal of the printmaking studio is to foster the unique
“voice” of each student. Advanced students develop and document a portfolio
of work, explore professional presentation of work and compile a resume in
preparation for graduate school or entering the professional arena.
The Inky Paper Press Visiting Artist series brings a nationally or
internationally known printmaking artist to the studio each year for one
week. Students benefit from assisting each artist as they work in the
studio. Such student / artist contacts inform student work as well as
provide direction for international or graduate school study and other
professional and artistic experiences. Students also benefit from attendance
at annual professional printmaking conferences.
At the heart of the printmaking studio is a community of artists that
transcends the classroom and equipment and is rooted in a creative and
supportive learning environment.
