About ten years ago I took a class at the Pratt Art Institute-- total beginners survey to print making. We made handmade etchings, woodcuts, engravings, lithographs more. All the old school/Rembrandt stuff. Used the printing press, made proofs, used etching acid. About 8 students in the class, so you knew everyone. The teacher was a master printmaker and artist who had her stuff displayed in museums, but she was just there to show how printmaking is done.
I took it because, as an authenticator, I thought it would be useful to hands on know how to make prints in order to identify them. I was the only non-artist in the class.
