Printmaking
Definition: Printmaking is an artistic process that involves transferring images from a matrix — such as a metal plate, woodblock, stone, or screen — onto another surface, usually paper. It encompasses various techniques including etching, lithography, screen printing, woodcut, aquatint, and digital methods.
Printmaking allows artists to produce multiples of an artwork, with each print considered an original when made within a signed and numbered edition. It is a cornerstone of both historical and contemporary fine art practice.
