Direct practice in woodcut, linocut, and collagraph; planographic processes, such as monotype and monoprint; drypoint, a form of intaglio printing using a non-toxic etching process; stencil techniques; chine collé; color printing; registration; and traditional and contemporary printmaking practices.
