LITHOGRAPHY

Lithography was invented by Alois Senefelder, a German author and actor in 1796/1798. This is a method of printing based on the fact that oil and water don't mix. A grease-treated image made on the surface of fine-grained limestone (later on zinc then now on aluminium), etched with gum arabic and acid, inked and printed. Ball grained aluminium plates are popular in printmaking since they have similar characteristics to lithographic limestone and are easier to work with.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to make pencil/crayon drawings and wash drawings on a ball grained aluminium plate and prepare and print the plate.
