Using examples of artworks from the Arts Council Collection, including Pablo Picasso, Lucian Freud and Rachel Whiteread, the film explores how each printmaking process makes different demands on the artist and allows for a huge range of approaches to mark-making. An Arts Council Collection film produced with kind support of Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London

Such interesting information and what a calming video. Lovely. This was really helpful for me in my high school printmaking class.

Being a printmaker myself, its great to see other artists work from the same field. Keep putting in the work. Great video, thanks for sharing.

I've been a professional printer 30+years and understand the terms used by the facilitator in the line print docu. He is the one that uses the correct terms used in the trade today it isn't anything as you learn in schools I never went on to do screen printing because of the chemicals used in the process so I stock to expanding my knowledge of offset printing, there are still dangerous chemicals used but the main danger is losing a hand or fingers in a fast moving machine due to usually incorrect fitting ppe. Which must be worn at all times a machine moving at 13000 imp per hour chews the human body like a savageing dog as said him doing explanation of line printing can probably run a print press? That's how he knows the term registration which is a crussial part in printing just as much as colour match. Great videos and I could watch them continuously.

I will help you and get discouraged when you get to achieve your goal to ensure that you may need to overcome the difficulty and dignity.

[@jayeshadk2443]

I want to work with you

[@cali4tune]

helpful but some of the examples really didn't show the possibilities... many of these "famous" artists work is no better than what you will find in a local grade school (I've seen better in High Schools).

Interesting presentation, but unfortunately, it is full of errors in the printmaking terminology.
