Adventures in Lithography

This workshop will explore the basic techniques of lithography using both stone and photo-plate processes. Students will learn the fundamentals of stone lithography: graining, principles of drawing, etching, registration, printing editions, and troubleshooting. Then we will explore photo-plate lithography and learn how to incorporate experimental approaches with drawing and photo-mechanical image possibilities. In addition to color layers, we will experiment with incorporating chine collé, collage, cyanotype, and linocuts. The workshop will include an exchange portfolio. All levels. Printmaking studio.
