RISD Printmaking By carving or etching a design onto almost any surface, you can print multiples onto another surface, varying each reproduction as you like.

With its own building full of specialized presses, Printmaking invites you to explore both traditional and experimental techniques for reproducing your own images using inks and paper. You’ll learn to master the nuances of working in intaglio, lithography, screenprint, relief, digital and alternative print methods – all of which are available as a means of finding your own voice and fueling your artistic development. As a Printmaking major, you’ll study original prints and other world-class works of art behind the scenes at the RISD Museum of Art, which offers a valuable resource for both undergraduate and graduate students in the program. Critical insights from faculty, visiting artists and other print-world professionals will help you to develop mature personal work that both expresses your personal vision and is responsive to the issues defining this dynamic field.

✨Artist Talk with Saya Woolfalk
Time: 5:00-6:10pm | April 14 2026
Location: Tap room

Saya Woolfalk (Japan, 1979) is a New York based artist who uses science fiction and fantasy to re-imagine the world in multiple dimensions. With the multi-year projects No Place, The Empathics, and ChimaTEK, Woolfalk has created the world of the Empathics, a fictional race of women who are able to alter their genetic make-up and fuse with plants. With each body of work, Woolfalk continues to build the narrative of these women’s lives, and questions the utopian possibilities of cultural hybridity.
