This July, August and September I am offering a collection of 5 Printmaking sessions. Each with a unique emphasis on a traditional printmaking technique or a more experimental approach.
As we all want to enjoy the sunny and warm weather, these session will take place during the Open Workshop time on Wednesdays evening between 16:30 - 21:00.
It is possible to book 1 - 3 or 5 sessions at the same time, therefore one can benefit from a discount and decide which technique/session/date suits them best.

This Wednesday 24.08.2022 - Kitchen Lithography
Kitchen Lithography is a faster and cheaper cousin of the original stone lithography. Both are planographic printing technique (printing from a flat surface) that essentially rely on the principle of water and oil repelling each other. Kitchen Litho was invented by French artist Émilie Aizier in 2011, adapting conventional lithography to the contemporary home setting using household materials, and a simple method As an experimental technique, best results come from practicing and enjoying the process.
What will you learn?
As a technique fairly close to drawing, lithography is very suited for details as well as expressive work. The repelling principle of oil and water allow us to freely draw upon our plate then easily translate this drawing into a print.
During the workshop, we will go over the simple list of materials needed to create a home tool box. We will discuss the various effect certain oily materials can create, playing and experimenting. Finally, we will issue a series of prints from 2 different plates we will create together.
*This workshop takes place with a minimum of 3 participants.
** All materials are included (ink, tools, solvent and mordants). Printmaking paper is to be purchased through the instructor at the workshop (cash only).
