FAQ About The Role of Printmaking in Cultural History

What is the role of a printmaking matrix?

A printmaking matrix is an essential component, serving as the surface or template from which prints are made. It can be crafted from various materials such as wood, metal, or silk screens, and is incised or prepared with the design to be printed. The matrix allows artists to create multiple identical impressions, making printmaking distinct from other art forms that create singular works.
