Stone Litho Refresher Sessions offer an opportunity to consolidate skills, gain valuable printmaking experience, and spend time in the studio with dedicated staff support. During each session, there will be a demonstration of a particular technique or process following which there is time and opportunity for you to develop your prints. Unlike our more structured weekend courses, refresher sessions can be used to develop your own prints at your own pace and explore whichever aspects of a process are more interesting or relevant to you. Time spent in refresher sessions gives you experience and counts towards your workshop induction so you become familiar with using the studio. Once you have attended a few of these sessions you can come back and take out a membership to use the studio outside of class hours and under your own steam. Lithography has many steps, so please bring a notebook so you can refer back to your notes when you work independently in the studio. Who are refresher sessions for? - For lapsed members of EP - Printmakers with good experience in a specific process but are new to EP - People who have completed a weekend course in Stone Lithography but are looking for some more support/assistance to build up confidence before working in the studio Please Note: This course is NOT suitable for people with no experience in Stone Lithography - (our weekend access courses are intended for those new to a process) If you are unsure if you are suitably experienced to attend, we ask that you email us in advance of booking at alastair.clark@edinburghprintmakers.co.uk with the following information: - When was the last time you did stone lithography? - What courses have you attended and where? - Do you have examples of prints you have printed yourself using this process? If possible, please share some images. - What other print studios have you worked in? Some people will be required to attend more than one refresher session before gaining access to membership and working unassisted in the print studio. This will be dependent on each individual's previous experience and the complexity of the particular print process.
