  • Upcoming Events

    • Fri, Mar 12 - Intro to Screen Printing (Week 5 of 6)
    • Sun, Mar 14 - Aluminum Plate Lithography (Week 2 of 4)
      Instructor: Angee Lennard $140 (15% off for Members) Aluminum plate lithography is becoming a popular alternative to traditional stone lithography, in which a limestone is used as the printing plate. Printing is done from a flat surface and depends on the opposition of oil and water. In this class, we will teach the methods that are the simplest and most dependable while yielding very similar results to traditional stone lithography. Students will experiment with many mark making materials, then learn to etch and print the plate. Because printing a litho requires isolated time with the press, we are keeping the class size to just 4 students. Each student will create their own edition of prints, as well as help a fellow student edition their work. Students need not have stone lithography experience. All materials except paper will be provided.
