Lithography (printing from stone) was invented just over 200 years ago.  The stones provide a wonderful surface, and offer a wide range of mark-making possibilities.  This class will explore traditional black and white stone lithography.  Each student will be provided with a stone, drawing/painting materials, and inks.  Students must provide their own printing paper.  Some paper will be available for sale at the studio. 

Class will meet each Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon for 4 weeks (8 sessions in total).  Thursday evenings will focus on demonstrations.  Saturdays will be supervised work times for students.

Workshop limited to four participants.  Must have at least two participants to run a class.
