Colour Plate Lithography Summer Course
3 - 5 August
On 3, 4 & 5 August, combine plate lithography with mono printing techniques to explore ways of building images in colour layers and create painterly prints with the delicacy of mark and tone, characteristic of a lithograph.
This three day course uses light sensitive aluminium photo plates. These plates can create a wide range of detailed marks such as painterly washes, linear drawings, photocopied images, photographs, digital images and text. Explore proofing and colour layering using some of the immediate playful qualities of monoprinting to aid developing a clearer understanding of colour theory and how you may build up your prints in layers. ParticipantDuring this course, each participant will learn how to proof and then print their image in several coloured layers onto paper. Each layer of colour is printed individually, taking care to register each new layer of ink on top of previously printed colours.
