Summary

"MA Fine Art: Printmaking at Camberwell College of Arts supports you to consider the ways in which printed images occupy a central position in contemporary practice through conversations around media, technology and materials.

Printmaking as a fine art discipline is firmly established within a long history of image making, technological advancements and political contexts. MA Fine Art: Printmaking at Camberwell College of Arts encourages you to approach practical making through a critical lens, establishing clear connections between creating and thinking. Using Camberwell’s extensive print workshops, you’ll be able to advance your practical skills and professional knowledge across a range of analogue and digital print processes. You’ll also have use of wider College workshop resources. You’ll work alongside your peers, academic staff, visiting artists and researchers across workshops and studios. This creates a space to celebrate the cultural diversity and inclusivity of print, but also its ability to continually provoke questions about the world we live in.

What to expect * Workshops: Traditional printmaking workshops including etching, lithography, screen, relief and letterpress. Digital workshops including large format printing, laser cutting and 3D printing. You can also access other College resources such as wood, ceramics and metal workshops.

  • A sense of community: The course is part of a comprehensive Camberwell fine art programme. This enables you to take part in cross-course seminars, group crits, tutorials, offsite trips and external projects with other students.

  • Collaboration: The course nurtures collaborations within the Camberwell fine art programme and encourages you to connect with local, national and international print communities to consider future career opportunities.

  • Showing your work: You’ll be able to show and discuss your work and research in exhibitions and other public facing events.   

  • Social, cultural and ethical contexts: You’ll explore debates surrounding print, technology, arts and culture including narratives from marginalised and disadvantaged communities.



Industry experience and opportunities The course will develop your skills in creative leadership, problem-solving, collaboration, resourcefulness and communication. You’ll also learn how to sustain open-ended lines of enquiry, an essential skill in any professional setting. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to showcase your practice including organising and participating in public events and exhibitions. A programme of talks and workshops will help you identify which part of the art world you would like to contribute to after graduation.
