Print Studio

The Print Studio at the Dunedin School of Art is proud of its large and well equipped Workshop facility. It has both traditional and digital technologies at its disposal. Lithography, intaglio, relief printing and screen printing sit comfortably alongside and engage directly with contemporary digital technologies.

Both photography and drawing are strong areas of image production within the Print Studio. We have digital facilities in the workshop that compliment the analogue possibilities already present within the traditional technologies. Paper is a foundational support for much printmaking practice and we encourage an engagement with this material by offering the facilities for paper making. Both the conceptual and practical realms of the studio engage with ideas like the multiple, the politics of reproduction, repetition, POP, posters, artist books and other publications, print as object, unique state works as well as the convention of the limited edition. Students are introduced to the range of processes through a series of Workshop Focuses whilst the cohort of Print Studio students engages with a conceptual Studio Focus for the semester. The Print Studio fosters a professional, healthy and safe approach to a Workshop engagement as students pursue their independent projects in a critical and supportive teaching environment.
