Pressure & Ink - Aluminum Plate Lithography with Juana Estrada Hernández
Date: Sunday & Monday, October 13th & 14th, 2024
Time: 10am - 4pm MT both days
Location: Diana Ingalls Leyba Studio
Price: $300
Max Participants: 8
Workshop Description:
Lithography is a planographic printmaking process in which a drawing is rendered on a limestone or ball-grain aluminum plate with greasy drawing materials like lithography crayons, and touche. The surface is chemically treated to etch (affix) the image into the surface of the plate.
For this two-Day workshop we will be using Aluminum Ball-grain Plates as this material is lightweight, requires minimal storage, and easily accessible. This class will cover Material prep, Basic drawing Techniques, Registration, Etching, and Color Printing. Students will learn to do a one-layer lithography print in color.
Think about the image that you want to render, graphite drawings on paper and photographs are a great source of reference materials. Students will be able to create a lithography image as large as 11” x 15 “drawing.
