Welcome to Printmaking at the Visual Art Institute!
Printmaking is the process of transfer from matrix (created/manipulated surface) to printed surface. This open ended definition means that print encompasses so many methods and processes. Depending on the class, methods include: Monotype (painterly), Relief (woodblock), Intaglio (Engraving), Screen Printing, and Collagraph (Texture printing). Students, age 12+, will gain skills in creating value, utilizing texture, and understanding color theory, as well as printmaking-specific skills, such as application of ink, registering paper, and printing. These classes are perfect for people who love drawing but want to learn something new!
We also offer other art classes (ceramics, watercolor, and many more!) for kids and adults. For more information on our other classes, see our website at: https://www.visualartinstitute.org/salt-lake-art-classes

We may be able to transfer you to a different class depending on space availability.
CLASS CANCELLATION:
We find that students learn better in larger groups. If we feel the number of registrations is too low to promote a good learning environment, we may cancel the class. In the event we cancel a class, we will reach out to you as soon as possible.
TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:
We try to make our classes as accessible to everyone as possible. We are able to offer a limited number of tuition assistance scholarships each term. You can complete an application on our website or call our office for assistance applying. Applications are available in Spanish and English.
MULTI-CLASS DISCOUNT:
When you register for more than one class, you can receive a discount up to 10% per class! You must call and register through the front office for this discount.
ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:
Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
