Community Printmaking Offerings

Community Printmaking Courses

Open-level introductory community courses are ideal for beginner printmakers. The instructor and focus of each community course varies from semester to semester, and enrolled students can expect to learn the basics of anywhere from 2 to 4 printmaking processes. Information about upcoming Community Courses is usually made available on the TC Printmaking website at least 4 weeks prior to the beginning of the course. In addition to weekly class meetings with the instructor, students who demonstrate and understanding of the processes they are learning are given access to Open Studio Hours until the class end date.

Community safety and effective communication are core values at the heart of the Teachers College Public Safety Team’s mission. At various times, the College may need to alert the community to incidents or issues of concern, including by sending safety messages.

A safety resource available to all Community Students is the TC Safe App. Furthermore, Community Students can choose to create a TC Alert account . This emergency notification system provides folks with critical information in various situations, such as active threats on campus, campus closures due to severe weather, missing persons, building evacuations, and other safety-related warnings. Community Students will receive time-sensitive messages in the manner you specify. TC Alert is only initiated for safety-related messaging and is not used to disseminate general campus information. You may opt-out at any time.
