BA (Hons) in Print Contemporary Practice

Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest

The Print Contemporary Practice (PCP) course is designed with student development at its core, placing studio practice at the heart of this Fine Art specialisation. Located on the ground floor of the LSAD campus, the PCP workshop offers spacious, professional facilities dedicated to a broad spectrum of traditional, and contemporary printmaking techniques and art methodologies.

Studio practice is central to the learning experience, providing students with the environment and tools to explore the complexity and diversity of print as an evolving, multi-faceted discipline within Fine Art. Through hands-on engagement in the Print workshop, students acquire and refine technical skills while developing a personal and critically informed approach to making art. The programme responds to global developments in the field by positioning printmaking within the context of contemporary research and innovation within Fine Art practice. A combination of in-depth workshops, lectures, and tutorials supports students in building a rigorous, practice-led foundation that encourages experimentation, critical reflection, and independent thinking. At every stage, the course promotes experiential learning, where knowledge is built through hands-on activities, making, and reflection within an active studio environment.
