Learn more about printmaking

Printmaking is an artistic process of creating images or designs by transferring ink from a prepared surface onto paper, fabric, or other materials. Unlike painting or drawing, printmaking allows artists to produce multiple copies, known as prints, of the same artwork. Common printmaking techniques include woodcut, linocut, etching, engraving, lithography, and screen printing. Each method involves carving, drawing, or preparing a surface such as wood, metal, or stone, which is then inked and pressed onto the chosen medium. Printmaking requires both artistic skill and technical precision. It has been used for centuries for both fine art and commercial purposes, allowing for wide artistic expression and visual storytelling.
