Printmaking: Experimenting with Lithography

Lithography is a printing process based on the fact that grease and water don’t mix.
It literally means ‘to write on stone’.

Lithography is a technique still favoured by many creatives because it offers the opportunity to draw and paint directly onto a unique, tactile drawing surface, allowing you to create a huge range of marks and tones in your images.

During this exciting six-weeks course, you will explore various traditional lithography techniques with and without a stone.
Be amazed by the painterly effects that can be achieved, with subtle nuances of tone, fluidity and variability of line, and layers of colour.
This form of printmaking is particularly suitable for people who enjoy drawing and watercolour techniques, as it prints exactly the marks you make.
