From wood engravings to digital prints, from etchings to screen-printing, the art of printmaking documents humanity's journey of preserving and sharing cultural expressions. Today's printmaking scene presents a diverse and dynamic terrain, where some artists draw from time-honored inking and plate techniques while others explore book arts, installations, or digital innovations. Auburn's printmaking program provides students with multiple pathways, welcoming cross-disciplinary thinking. Spanning eras, traditions, and methodologies, printmaking offers practitioners boundless creative opportunities. At Auburn University, students master conventional methods with a focus on non-toxic practices through courses in relief, intaglio, and screen printing. These foundational skills merge with modern digital tools like large-format inkjet printing and laser cutting, enabling students to blend digital imaging with traditional approaches. As learners become proficient with these varied techniques while developing their artistic vision, they discover how to push printmaking's boundaries to align with their personal goals. The Advanced Printmaking course empowers students to hone their acquired skills through self-directed projects.
