In this seven-week studio course, students will explore the art of printmaking through a focused challenge: creating works strictly within a 12” x 12”  format. Participants may work in relief, intaglio, monotype, or monoprint, using primarily water-based inks (other solutions are permitted). Through guided instruction and experimentation, students will develop original designs and concepts that reflect current trends and innovations in contemporary printmaking—all within the creative boundaries of the one-square-foot format. The square format, historically uncommon until the rise of abstraction, presents unique compositional and expressive challenges that foster precision, visual order, and formal structure. This course is designed to support the creation of final works suitable for submission to The Center for Contemporary Printmaking’s Footprint International Competition 2026. All skill levels are welcome. Includes one 3-hour weekly practice session during monitored practice
