Polyester Plate Lithography

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Polyester plate lithography is a fun and easy introduction to lithographic processes, which rely on the resistance between oil and water. In this workshop, you will create a two-layer image using a combination of digital and hand-drawn techniques, printed in black and white and color. This class is taught in partnership with Myrtle Press.
