Location Leicester Print Workshop
Date & Time Saturday 30th April and Sunday 1st May
10.00am - 3.00pm
Tutor  Serena Smith

If you are curious to know something about the mysteries of lithography and want to have some fun finding out more about this wonderful printmaking process, this is the ideal place to start.

During the weekend we will look at the original process of stone lithography and its later development photo-plate lithography. Participants will have the opportunity to print from stone and plate, and see something of the complex process that enables Jurassic limestone to reproduce hand drawn marks.

All proceeds from the course will go towards the Off-Set press.
