EmailThis one day workshop is a full introduction to creating and printing your own lithograph. Get to grips with the basics of this practice.
Try out using a variety of drawing materials on a piece of transparent drafting film. Your host will show you how to prepare, expose Photoplates are the least process-heavy within lithography, so its a great way to get started in the medium.
The lithographic process utilises the repelling properties of oil and water. This course is an excellent introduction to applying the technique to hand drawn and photographic images. You will use photosensitive lithographic plates, and an exposure unit to transfer your image onto a plate. The plate will then be inked up by hand and printed using a litho press.
Photoplate lithography can pick up some incredible subtle details, which makes it a real catch! Jump at the chance to learn this new skill and get plenty of guidance from your encouraging host along the way. Youll leave with the prints you make on the day!
