Printmaking History
The art of
Printmaking has
been around since
the 800’s and has
evolved into many
different types of
printmaking over
the years. Some
of the more
popular types of
printmaking are;
relief, monoprint,
collagraph,
screenprinting,
lithography and
intaglio.
Relief Printmaking – A simple form of printmaking where
the raised surfaces are inked and printed and the areas
that are cut away are ink free.

Emily Johns – The Rose and the Nightingale
Hebe Vernon-Morris – Bubble World . . . Or

Other
Monoprint Printmaking – A single print that is pulled from
a reprintable block. The print can either be pulled by
either painting an image or creating a collage.
Jane Beecham – Kite Flying
Eileen Rosen – Storm Brighton
Collagraph Printmaking – Is a more contemporary form of
printmaking, in which layered objects are glued to a
surface. This surface can be printed as a relief or an
intaglio plate.
Julian Hayward – Dark Sun
Screenprinting Printmaking – Stencil making process where
ink is forced through fine-mesh fabric.
Jon Crane – Everyone

Lithograph Printmaking – A print pulled from an oil and
water image created on a smooth surface of a stone or
plate.
Juliet Kac – Preston Park
Intaglio Printmaking –
the term “intaglio”
which means “to
engrave or cut into”
is the printmaking
process of creating an
image by incising
lines into the surface
of a metal plate.
There are two main
groups in Intaglio
printmaking – etching
and engraving.
Intaglio Etching – An etched line in printmaking is more
irregular do to the bite of the acid.

Intaglio Engraving – An
engraved mark producing a
crisp, sharp line.
