Course introduction

This course is for returning printmaking students who have done a previous course at Nottingham College and would like to further develop their printmaking skills.

Working in our well-resourced printmaking department, you will be working on directed and self-directed projects with the support and guidance of our experienced tutor to help build the knowledge and skills to work independently. You may want to develop specific printing skills and techniques, technical knowledge and creative ideas which you tutor will support you with.

The course is designed to help equip learners with the knowledge to print confidently and independently in a printmaking studio using the presses, with a focus on technical knowledge and safe studio practice. 

You will receive supportive tutoring, new knowledge and skills in ceramics, and opportunities to develop your creativity.

Please note: Due to the high demand of these part time courses, if you start a course but can no longer carry on, you will not be eligible for a full course refund. If you enrol on a course and the start date passes, you will not be eligible for a course material fee refund. If you get remitted fees and attend your course for free, if you do not attend the first two sessions without letting the tutor know or without valid reason, you will be withdrawn from the course. Many thanks for your understanding.

Course information

NCFE Creative Crafts Award Level 1 

This course is for returning printmaking learners only as it is a Level 1 qualification. 

You must be aged 19+.

Once you have completed this course you can apply for our Full Cost options over summer or look for alternative qualifications as part of our 2027/2028 programme.

This course is only funded for you to study it once and is a new course for 2026/2027. If you have completed this adult funded course earlier in the year, you will need to choose an alternative day/course.

Basic materials will be provided on the course such as an allocated amount of printmaking materials and papers.  Students can buy additional materials from our Art Shop at 25 Stoney Street and speak to tutors for specialist guidance on printmaking purchases. 

We politely ask that students arrive to the studio no earlier than 5 minutes before the class to give staff enough time to set up for the session - if you are early you are able to wait comfortably in our reception area at 25 Stoney Street.
