PRINTMAKING
The Printmaking program offers the opportunity to work with an exciting range
of incredible artists and media. We maintain a wide diversity of subject matter and
approach, while tailoring each class to a particular level of experience. Our classes offer an
intense, hands-on art making experience and critical feedback that will propel your studio
practice throughout the year.
The Ranch’s spacious print facilities are housed in the lower level of the Wyly Painting
Building. Each printmaking student has access to palettes, work tables, odorless solvents,
rags and an extensive collection of hand and power tools. Classrooms are further equipped
with a computer, Wi-Fi access, printing, scanning, and projection capabilities. The Patton
Print Shop houses three etching presses and two lithography presses. We offer a wide
array of traditional and digital processes, screen printing equipment, relief carving, etching,
intaglio, lithography and letterpress.
