Who is a "printmaker"?
A printmaker is an artist who creates images by transferring ink from a prepared surface onto paper or fabric. They use techniques like carving, drawing on stone, and using templates to produce artworks. Printmakers carefully design and carve or draw their images on materials such as metal plates, wood blocks, or templates, then apply ink and press it onto the chosen surface. This process allows them to produce multiple copies of the same image. Printmakers must have a good understanding of these techniques and tools to create detailed and high quality images.
