Printmaking is a very traditional method of image making, however has been used in contemporary practice to create stunning artworks. Either used as a base for mixed media works, in artists books or as prints themselves, there are many techniques that can be used and experimented with.

Denise Scholz-Wulfing will be taking a print making class for term 2, which starts next week Thursday, 5th May and runs for 9 weeks. The classes start at 6.00 - 8.30pm. This is a great opportunity to learn a range of intaglio techniques as well improving your printing skills. Click here for more information on the class.

Denise's etchings have quite intricate details that show a high level of draughtsmanship. She received her BA from the Collge of Fine Arts and a Diploma in Education and a Masters of Letters in Visual Arts. Denise has had various solo exhibitions since 1985 and her printmaking practice spans across all intaglio and relief printing techniques.

The Centrehouse Print Studio has two working presses which you will learn how to operate and Denise will also teach hand printing techniques. You will make prints from a number of different mediums, including board, metals and plastics.
