Maintaining an art practice takes just that: practice! This weekly self-guided class offers space, structure, community, and access to a wide variety of printmaking methods for artists to experiment and expand upon their body of work. Students will guide the conversation and direction of the class, creating a local community for artists to work, engage in critical dialogue, and grow together with their peers.

Students will be exposed to an archive of contemporary printed works to inspire the direction of their work. The class will begin with introductions, discussions of projects if requested, independent studio time, and ending with a facilitated feedback session. Join us in this opportunity to expand your artistic practice with the feedback and support of fellow printmakers and guidance from artist Dilara Miller. Some Printmaking experience is necessary.
