Stone Lithography Taster Class
Join us on Saturday 13 September for this taster class exploring stone
lithography. Drawing directly onto a prepared limestone surface allows
a spontaneous approach to mark-making. Find out how artists with
wide-ranging styles, such as MC Escher, Jasper Johns, Pablo Picasso,
and Kathe Kolwitz, have delighted in the subtleties of the stone.
This 1-day taster class will give you the opportunity to make a print,
find out what stone is about before you might consider one of our
Expanded Practice (3-days) or Evening Courses (6 evenings) in Stone
Lithography. Alternatively, Introduction to Lithography gives a 2 day
opportunity to explore both Plate and Stone Lithography.
Taster classes are not access classes, so you will not be able to use
the studio once the course is completed. If you wish to do so, please
book onto one of our longer courses.
