About the course:
This taster course in lithography is split over two Tuesdays evenings. During these two sessions you will get an introduction to the very basic of stone lithography.
The first Tuesday we will be looking at lithography prints to understand how artists can work with lithography as an art medium, and you will get hands on experience working directly onto the stones.
The second Tuesday we will be printing a lithography stone and you will walk away with a lithography print you have printed yourself.
The course is suitable for all artist that are interested in trying out lithography as a printmaking medium.
All materials are included in the course.
No more than four artists partake in this course at a time.
What is Lithography:
Lithography is a printmaking technique invented by Alois Senefelder in 1796. It is a diverse printmaking technique where you can achieve different expressions and styles. You can print in black and white or a range of different colours. Lithography has always been used as a fine art medium but it was also used for printing labels and cheques. Some printing techniques that we use today such as offset printing (used for printing books for example), originate from lithography.
Traditional lithography is printed from lithography stones, a special kind of lime stone and it functions on the fact that grease and water repel each other.
During the course you will create your images onto the stone and print them of the stone onto a paper. When the printing is done the images are grained away from the stone and it can be used over and over again.

Your tutor during this course will be Nora Hammenberg, the owner of Stone Tree Press. She is a certificated printer by the prestigious Tamarind Institute of Lithography in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. She also studied printmaking at Gotheburg School of Art in Gothenburg, Sweden and at Ålgårdens Print Workshop and Galleries in Borås, Sweden. Nora is dedicated to sharing her knowledge of lithography to keep these traditional skills and techniques alive.
