Learn to draw on and print from rock! Stone lithography is a printmaking method that has been in use since the late 18th century to produce dramatic, tonal print editions on the smooth surface of limestone. The printing process is intensive and yields rich and beautiful prints like no other printmaking method.
In this workshop, taught over 6 sessions, students will learn the step-by-step process to create their own edition of 10 prints pulled directly from their stone. Topics covered will include how to: prepare a stone, transfer a sketch and develop an image on the stone using lithographic crayons, as well as liquid tusche for creating washes, print an edition, and safe use of a lithographic press and materials.
This course is open to all adult artists interested in learning stone lithography, but some drawing experience is recommended.
All materials, except paper for the printed edition, will be supplied.
Ages: 18+
Registration: $275, includes all materials except paper for the printed edition.
