Join Mike Connolly for this 4 day workshop where you will learn the basics of creating an original print from a lithographic limestone. Lithography is a printmaking process using the natural repulsion of grease and water. Grease is used to established an image on the stone, and the stone is then printed while dampened with water to ensure the transfer of only the inked image onto paper. Classes will run Saturday mornings from 10-1, with the option to stay and work on your drawings after class time. Class size will be limited to six participants, so be sure to register early!
