Printmaking: Kitchen Lithography
In this 1-day workshop, students will explore printmaking using accessible and non-toxic materials.
Invented by artist Émilie Aizier in 2011, kitchen, or tin foil lithography relies on the relationship between oil and water used in stone and plate litho printing methods. Using kitchen lithography students will create reproductions of drawings in ink without a press and utilizing common household supplies like Coca-Cola, aluminum foil, vegetable oil, and a wooden spoon. No harsh chemicals are used! While it does require the use of an oil-based ink, students will wear protective latex gloves, and cleanup requires a mixture of dish soap and vegetable oil – nothing caustic. Students will be provided with items and images in class for drawing inspiration and will briefly discuss and practice various mark-making techniques. This workshop focuses on smaller prints as a straight-forward entry point.
Pricing: $95 for Museum Friends and CultureHaus, $100 for members and students, and $110 for non-members. Price includes a $30 studio fee for all materials provided.
