Waterless Lithography with Hen Coleman (current print fellow at the Royal Academy Schools)

Waterless lithography is a process which uses silicone and water-soluble drawing materials in combination to produce printable (on an etching press) aluminium lithographic plates with all of the mark-making flexibility and subtelty of traditional lithography. They are quick to ink up - reproduce well and print easily on an etching or litho press. It's much quicker and easier than traditional lithography!
This workshop is great for people who like to draw direct, it can be very painterly, great range of subtle marks and it offers something quite different to etching and screenprint.

The Goetz Technique with Richenda Court

This course will take a close look at the Goetz technique, founded in the 1960's, over three mornings. This rich painterly technique is ideal for making prints in a short amount of time. The rich tonal marks are made by painting layer's of carborundum paste onto clear acrylic sheets. The rich granulated surface produces intense tones on the surface. Further subleties can be made by scratching into the acrylic sheets. During the course we will explore black and white as well as colour approaches to this technique. Come prepared with a loose black and white image for the first session.
