Tutor: Caroline Whitehead
Venue: Essex Print Studio
Kitchen litho is a great introduction to the amazing world of lithography. On this fun weekend course we’ll learn how to make lithographic prints using kitchen foil, cola and readily available (and inexpensive) drawing materials. It’s also a very portable technique - small prints are easy to print without a press. With a bit of practice, it’s possible to make surprisingly sophisticated and subtle prints — and also achieve surprisingly long print runs — using everyday ingredients.
Who is the course for?
This course is suitable for people who enjoy drawing and mark-marking. Some printmaking experience will be useful, but it’s not required.
Materials
All materials will be provided and students will receive a set of notes about the process.
Tutor
Caroline Whitehead has been a keyholder at East London Printmakers since 2011. Many of Caroline’s recent prints have been made using various forms of alternative lithography, such as mokulito (‘wood lithography’), aluminium foil (‘kitchen’) lithography and waterless lithography. She exhibits widely and her prints and artists books are in collections including the V&A Museum; Royal Free Hospital; Winchester School of Art; and Manchester Metropolitan University.
All materials will be provided but we suggest that you bring along a packed lunch.
