Advanced Printmaking Study is a course on which you (regardless of your years of experience) will always learn something new and progressive to your personal printmaking skills and development.
Continuous learning is supported under highly experienced technical support and tuition.
Something we're particularly skilled at here at Gray's is guiding you with tuition and advice that is tailored to a your individual and chosen path of creative practice.
The course accommodates those who wish to build on their existing printmaking experience and further explore their personal practice. This will vary depending on the level of experience and desire to develop work independently or with more support of the lecturer.
The course includes full access to the relief and intaglio workshop including the etching facilities. Students are encouraged to develop self-directed study in their chosen medium.
Advanced Printmaking will run alongside our Intermediate Printmaking Short Course
