Printmaking has played a key role in spreading artistic styles, scientific diagrams, and ideas around the world. A printmaker first creates a design on a matrix—a surface often made of metal, wood, or stone. They then apply ink and press paper or fabric to the matrix, transferring the design. This process can be repeated, creating multiple works.
