Photo-Plate Lithography – June

Day course
Saturday 15th June 2019
10am – 5pm

Spend a day learning photo-plate lithography in our specially equipped workshops. Photo-plate lithography can produce prints with remarkable subtle tonal detail. It can be used a process by itself, or combined with other printmaking techniques, and is a quicker alternative to traditional stone lithography, (for those of you whose time is limited and want speedier results).

This course will have an experimental approach to image-making, with an emphasis on generating images by hand through drawing, painting and mark-making onto transparent film. (Although you can bring photographic imagery to work with as well if you wish). Images will then be transferred onto light-sensitive lithographic plates by exposing them to UV light, and the plates are then developed, and printed on our etching press. Participants can expect to produce 2 – 3 plates during the day, making multiple prints of each to take home, and printing in colour if time permits.
