Photo-lithography (Weekend)
$355, includes materials
Saturday - Sunday, 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
December 16 - 17, 2023
Instructor: Heather J.A. Thomson
Class capacity: 4 participants

Photo-lithography combines the printing process of traditional stone lithography with digital outputs. Instead of drawing directly onto limestone, artists can use photographs, digital images or drawings to create a matrix on a light-sensitive aluminum plate. Participants will learn how to create digital outputs for photolithography, expose & develop their plate, and handprint their image using a lithography press. This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in combining photography and printmaking.

This class has a maximum capacity of 4 students and is suitable for all levels, no prior experience is needed.
