The printmaking department is a vibrant end exciting environment staffed by internationally recognised practitioners and supported by a regular input from research and artist in residence programs. It attempts to equip the student with the necessary skills and knowledge that will prove fundamental in their development as professional artists. The print studio is now one of the largest and most successful print studios in Australia and has gained an international reputation for its commercial and educational programs. Through this facility, the printmaking studio has produced a number of projects with professional artists, and has contributed to major developments in the field of study through its research and development programmes. The studio has also published an on line technical manual to support its Printmaking programme.
Students follow a ten unit print major after semester one of year one.
This can be taken as a specialism within the studio or in conjunction with other studio disciplines. The print studio has excellent facilities in etching, relief printing, screen printing and lithography along with darkrooms for film processing and photo screen preparation. The studio also houses a dedicated Macintosh Digital laboratory and supplies studio space for all print major students.
