Alternative lithography: Drawing through printmaking with Scarlett Rebecca

Description

Drawing through printmaking: Alternative lithography with Scarlett Rebecca. A three-day workshop with artist Scarlett Rebecca. ​Lithography is the perfect process for artists who want to combine drawing with printmaking. Lino lithography is an accessible and low-toxic lithographic process that doesn’t require specialist equipment, so you can reproduce the process at home. Using lino as our print surface means we’re also able to include all the fantastic qualities of relief print. Over the course we will be utilising lino as our matrix, using it as a surface from which we will reproduce drawn marks using a myriad of drawing materials, including transfer papers. We will also be combining carved elements using lino in the traditional relief way and layering colours using the lino as a surface for monotype. This course is suitable for beginner printmakers and those who would like to explore a new printmaking process and take their drawing to the next level.  Day One: - Introduction and demonstration of preparing lino, using transfer papers, and using drawing materials. - Creating imagery directly onto the lino. - Creating imagery onto transfer papers outside of the studio. - Transferring collaged imagery from transfer papers to lino. - Processing the lino. Day Two: - Exploring carving and relief lino layers. - Printing multiple lithographic layers. - Drawing and processing developed ideas. Day Three: - Printing day determined by individual participant’s developed ideas. - Group discussion & review.
