This course provides learners with the skills and knowledge needed to use a limited range of basic printmaking techniques to produce fundamental prints from simple design concepts. It is suited to individuals who have developed some general design, drawing, or craft skills and are beginning a career in the visual arts. Participants typically have little or no experience in printmaking and work under close supervision with guidance from others.

The course responds to an identified skills gap in the creative arts, particularly in hands‑on, face‑to‑face printmaking training. It is designed for adult learners, hobbyists, artists, and small business owners who are looking to upskill or explore foundational printmaking techniques. It also supports students, job seekers, and individuals seeking personal or professional development in creative fields.

Throughout the program, learners will gain practical printmaking skills that may lead to employment pathways, further study, or personal enrichment through artistic practice. Face‑to‑face delivery ensures participants receive hands‑on experience and immediate guidance. This mode suits learners who thrive in interactive, practical environments where collaboration, experimentation, and learning by doing are central to their learning experience.
