ABOUT
Introduction
The course benefits from the extensive facilities and reputation of UWE’s Print Centre, with active links to the Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) – bringing research expertise, valuable placement opportunities, and access to related symposia, conferences and exhibitions.
MA Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking at UWE Bristol is best known for its experimental, forward-thinking approach to printmaking today and the future of the printed artefact. With a focus on making, you can explore and experiment with a diverse mix of traditional and emerging fine art printmaking media and develop ideas through processes such as laser cutting, enamelling, electronics, wood engraving and lithography.
You will study alongside a broad base of students with diverse backgrounds in a professional, well-connected, research-active environment with full access to specialist facilities (some of the best in the country) and support from highly regarded master printers, practicing artists and researchers.
Structure
Content
The MA Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking course gives you a unique opportunity to develop a range of creative, conceptual, technical and professional skills. The course is made up of five modules:
- Introduction to Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking (30 credits) – This workshop-based module provides a solid introduction to studio practice and to each other. You will explore facilities and resources for lithography, etching, screenprint, relief print, textile print, fabrication and begin to negotiate a programme of independent study.
- Research Practice (30 credits) – Primarily concerned with building academic skills, this module offers a series of choices, each of which has specific sets of concerns related to the practice and theory of art, media and design. These options are: Research for Practice; Critical Research’ Research in Enterprise (in the Creative Industries).
- Developing Practice (30 credits) – You will utilise and build upon skills gained in your first two modules to develop and realise a practical, self-directed printmaking project. You will have regular opportunities to experiment and play whilst developing an understanding of the field.
- Practice in a Professional Context (30 credits) – This module allows you to explore your practice within or alongside a professional placement/project/experience (usually external) which complements your particular abilities and interests. You will gain first-hand experience of the professional arena whist negotiating your own programme of study in a professional context.
- Extended Practice (60 credits) – Building on the expertise gained during your study, you will develop a body of work that demonstrates mastery of your subject, culminating in the end of year degree show.
