Multi-plate etching techniques will be introduced. Learners wil also build on technical and conceptual skills acquired in Printmaking 1 and Printmaking 2. While a variety of printmaking techniques will continue to be demonstrated and practised, Printmaking 3 is lead primarily by conceptual and thematic concerns. These concerns will be shaped and focused through thematic studio projects, common across the different studio areas. The possibilities of printmaking will be explored and allied to the general development of the individual student's ideas and visual language. Themes and concepts in printmaking will be explored through illustrated lectures and discussion of related themes across a range of the visual arts.

The anthology, the first of its kind, includes 32 texts on contemporary prints and printmaking written from the mid-1980s to the present by authors from across the world.

It is illustrated with images of the work of British and international collagraph artists, making it a practical and inspirational guide for both students and experienced printmakers.
