Printmaking

Overview

With a dynamic combination of faculty and staff, a broad array of equipment and facilities, and exciting collaborative opportunities, the printmaking area at Illinois State University offers an exceptional artistic environment.  The program is made up of three parts: intaglio, lithography, and Normal Editions Workshop, each with its own faculty/staff and space. Additionally the printmaking area has a digital and photo resource room and a small letterpress facility. Students work in a variety of traditional printmaking media, such as intaglio, lithography, monotype/monoprint, relief, and collagraph, as well as digital and photomechanical processes. The program emphasizes both theory and practice and the faculty are committed to individual artistic development, directing teaching methodology toward nurturing artists as they develop their creative body of work. Normal Editions Workshop is an exciting component of the program, allowing students the possibility of interacting with visiting artists and participating in the operation of a professional printshop.
