Fine Art Print is a central discipline within the School of Fine Art that spans the autographic arts, mechanical reproduction and digital media. Fine Print overlaps with a broad range of disciplines including sculpture, installation and media, whilst maintaining a distinct culture of its own.

The Fine Print programme encourages students to explore printmaking and ‘expanded printmaking’ and seeks to develop each students creative potential. You will be encouraged to work across a range of disciplines. You will explore a variety of modes of expression and visual installation using a variety of techniques and skills - lithography, etching, screen-printing, monoprint through photoshop, photography, final cut pro, animation, audio visual installation.

For many of our students, print is about making images that question why we make images.

Alongside the ubiquitous potential of digital imaging, students engage with the materiality of image-making, through analogue processes such as etching and screen print, as well as drawing, photography and installation. Throughout this research and skills based course, students experiment with long-established methods, alongside the most up-to-date digital technologies, testing contemporary and expanded notions of print as they do so. The broad philosophy of democratic image and text dissemination, combined with a fusion of traditional and new technologies – the symbiosis of analogue and digital – provides for a dynamic and challenging creative space where individual needs and aspirations are fostered, enabled and encouraged.

With an equal emphasis on the acquisition of autographic and conceptual enquiry, our students develop an independent studio practice that draws from daily experience and current social, cultural and political issues. For many, their creative ideologies are influenced and enabled by print’s historical legacy as a powerful means of mass communication.
