Exploring Paper Lithography

In person

Maura Galante

Also known as Xerox transfer, paper lithography is a variation of traditional lithography and relies on the play of oil and water on paper. It offers an immediate and non-toxic printmaking process that can incorporate photography, digital designs, and hand drawn illustrations. Plates can be made using an everyday laser printer or copier, then reworked or added to with a variety of tools like ballpoint pens, crayons and markers. The plate is then inked with oil-based ink and run through a press. Image embellishments will include Chine collé, monotype techniques, and hand coloring. First-time printers as well as artists with photography and drawing experience will enjoy this workshop. The tuition for this class includes a materials fee of $10. School Policies Students who withdraw 48 hours prior to the first class are eligible for a refund or credit toward another class, less a $25 registration fee. Please click here for more details.
