Discover New Printmedia Possibilities

Develop your craft as a printmaker and refine your voice as an artist. In our program, you’ll explore both traditional and experimental printmaking techniques, while also diving deep into contemporary art theory and cultural dialogue.

Reimagine & Experiment with Printmedia

In our well-equipped printmaking facilities, you’ll discover a full range of techniques that include book arts, etching, digital printing, screen printing, relief (woodcut and linocut), monotype, and letterpress. Working with a diverse faculty who’ve exhibited around the world, and learning among inquisitive, experimental peers, you’ll be challenged to reimagine the dynamic art of contemporary printmaking.

Thrive in our supportive Bay Area Print communities

With opportunities to develop and exhibit your work through the Hamaguchi Printmedia Scholarship program and the Kala Art Institute residency, you’ll cultivate a truly global perspective. These funded programs are unique to Printmedia at CCA: financial and creative launch-pads that we've designed to ensure you're supported as you enter the world of professional print opportunities. And with San Francisco's vibrant arts community near campus, you’ll also tap into the thriving local art scene at established institutions San Francisco Centre for the Book, Minnesota Street Projects, Crown Point Press, and SFMoMA. It’s the experience and inspiration you need to develop your artistic vision - and make your creative future happen.
