Event: “In Edition” – Fine Art Printmaking exhibition is on the top floor landing of Grand Parade

Each student has been tasked with producing an edition of prints in each of the four main printmaking areas, screen, litho, etching and relief.   Returning back to each process has allowed the student to develop new skills and insights into their own working practice. This term has been full of challenges, from collaborative printmaking, group activities and small student led exhibitions, they have risen to the challenge and begun to form a discernable identity as an artist. From an intensively taught semester 1 they are now developing real independence of practice which is vitally important as they move into L5. Watching their journey this year has been immensely exciting and we wait eagerly to see what they will do next year. Image credit – created by students.
