ArtEZ Academy of Art & Design Zwolle

Printmaking workshop

In the printmaking workshop, everything revolves around handwork. Bookbinding, etching, linocut — it’s all about craft and experimentation. Take the time to translate what you envision into something made with your hands. In wood, on paper, on textiles: here you can explore and experiment with materials and techniques.
