ART 232 Round House Press: Printmaking
Within this printmaking course students observe and participate in the printer/artist collaborative relationship while also producing small editions of their own printed images. Students may take this as a beginning course or as an upper-level course. Round House Press was founded in the 1980s at Hartwick College by several professors of printmaking, letterpress, bookarts and photography. They intended to reference in the name “round house,” the circular nature of Anderson Center for the Arts, a nest, the earth itself, as well as the railroad history that made Oneonta a hub where trains once brought people from many directions and distances together at an immense round house. For each RHP project, an artist-in-residence from another community is invited to work with the professor in the studio alongside students.
