The Printmaking Department supports the creative development of artists dedicated to visual exploration and expression using intaglio, lithography, screenprint, relief and related photo-processes. As a Printmaking major, you will be encouraged to explore a focused personal direction as you learn to master both traditional and contemporary techniques, including digital and alternative print methods.

Intensive study of conceptual, formal and practical issues related to historical and contemporary prints in the RISD Museum of Art and other collections in the region provides inspiration through direct contact with original works of art. Critical insights from faculty, visiting artists and other print-world professionals help you to develop mature personal work responsive to the issues defining the field today.
