DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP
Lithography is a unique printmaking medium that is based on the principle that oil and water repel one another. Unlike many other printmaking mediums, lithography is a chemical process, which incorporates direct drawing techniques to produce beautiful prints with a unique aesthetic.
This workshop is designed for those who have completed a lithography course either with Impress or a recognised institution (ie, QCA) and would like to continue with their own projects under the supervision of experienced tutors.
Participants are invited to bring along past or current lithography projects (on plates only, please) that they would like assistance with producing. Chris and Claudia will be there to assist with all stages of the processing and printing process, and to help you refine your lithography skills. Want to properly wrap your head around the etching process, or feel you need more experience operating the rollers and presses? This is the workshop for you!
