WORKSHOP: Kitchen Lithography (with Claudia Husband)
DATES: Saturday - Sunday, 24-25 September 2016
TIMES: 10am-4pm both days COST: $265 + $35 material cost Spots are limited, so buy your booking now! Lithography is a unique printmaking medium that is based on the principle that oil and water repel one another. Unlike many other printmaking mediums, lithography is a chemical process, which incorporates direct drawing techniques to produce beautiful prints with a unique aesthetic. This workshop presents a new take on the lithography medium, providing participants with an introduction to "kitchen lithography" - a quick, non-toxic and simplified method of creating lithographic prints using basic household materials. Participants will be shown the kitchen lithography process, with an opportunity to create prints of their own, as well as instruction and tutorial on how to combine this process with other mediums. Participants are encouraged to supply their own notebook/visual diary, good quality printmaking paper, and rice paper. These items will be available for purchase on the day from the ArtWorld Studio Gallery Shop.
In compliance with Workshop Health & Safety regulations, all participants must bring their own aprons and wear closed-in shoes. Tea and coffee will be provided. |
