This class is designed as a workshop. Introduction to the subject of workshop possibilities, from project development, through making a matrix to printing and proofs. Didactic methods include lectures on technology, presentation of examples, making individual projects and, on their basis, prints in the discussed techniques.

Passed entrance exam for first-year students and commissioned first-year credit for second-year students. Sketches, individual project proposals for discussed techniques. Materials and tools on one's own: graphic needle and etching papers, gloves, aprons, absorbing masks for work in a quilt shop.

To be able to make conscious use of the printmaking artist's workshop. To awaken curiosity and interest in artistic printmaking. To find and develop one's own path in the search for original artistic expression.

- Evaluation of the student's involvement in the realization of the studio programme
- Evaluation of individual artistic development
- Evaluation of the workshop level
- Participation in classes
- Grading scale is determined by the scoring scale in force at the Faculty of Graphic Arts
- Late or non-delivery of work will result in a lower grade
- Pass mark based on completed work from the whole semester or, in the case of the end of the year, final year review.

The curriculum of the first and second year is necessarily a program designed to give the student a solid workshop and technological foundation. After two years, the student should master in-depth technical skills in traditional intaglio techniques. They should also develop the ability to select artistic means adequate to the expressed content.

The class is an exercise and students are not bound by the mandatory reading list.

The classes are held in the workshop, which has been in need of general renovation for years. Beginning with drying the walls, replacing the floor (currently there are holes in it where rats come out), repainting the studio and finally installing an appropriate system for removing the harmful fumes of acids and reagents used during work. Investment is also needed to equip the lab with new glass for the tables, cabinets where students can store necessary materials and a place to keep their prints. Information: weekly number of exercise hours 4 for I year and 4 hours for II year. ECTS credits 3 credits - I year, 5 credits - II year.

Theoretical classes are planned to be conducted in remote mode and practical classes in stationary or mixed mode. In the remote mode you can do projects and gain knowledge about the technique, but theoretical knowledge will not replace practice. In the mixed mode I propose that lectures on graphic techniques be conducted remotely and students prepare projects. However, their realization should take place in the studio. Since there are two rooms in the workshop studio you can divide the group into two parts and conduct classes simultaneously. This will not increase the number of hours for students and will not disrupt the class schedule.
