This workshop will cover the basics of Lithography. Starting with drawing with different artistic lithographic materials and progressing through processing and subsequent printing and editioning of the stone. Stone lithography is known for its ability to capture hand-drawn and expressive marks, shading, and texture. Workshop students will learn how to prepare, draw, process, and print a lithographic stone while learning other necessary printmaking techniques and the rich history of lithography through this course. Students will hone printing skills through acting as a printing assistant for their peers. The class will culminate with students completing an edition of their own print; a traditional, one-layer, greyscale lithograph. Please bring drawings, visual references, and planned compositions that will be explored during class.
Skill level: beginner to intermediate printmaking experience
