Independent Study in Printmaking

In person

Kate Henderson

Focus on a specific printmaking technique—or a combination of processes—such as relief, intaglio, monotype, or screen printing, while working closely with the instructor for individualized guidance and mentorship. Students are encouraged to pursue self-directed projects, deepening their printmaking practice through experimentation and technical growth. Each student will define personal goals and work at their own pace, with support through one-on-one check-ins, class discussions centered on composition and artistic development, and optional group critiques. Ideal for artists looking to build a cohesive body of work, prepare for an exhibition, or explore new directions, this flexible, project-based format fosters creative exploration in a supportive studio environment.
