Start by working on acetates with various drawing, painting, or digital materials and then exposing these directly onto an aluminium photo plate. These plates can produce detailed marks such as painterly washes, liner drawings, digital images, photographs, and text.

Then you will delve into layering, printing plates and exploring how to build prints up in colours using lithography, combining simple monoprinting techniques and diving into some colour theory along the way.

This hands on course will allow for a playful exploration of how to approach lithography in a creative way, harnessing the delicacy of mark and tone characteristic to this medium.
