Alternative Lithography Printing

About this course

Participants will investigate how lino can be used to produce lithographic prints, moving beyond conventional printmaking methods. The course introduces non-traditional materials and processes for creating expressive, detailed images. Work may develop from drawings, photographs, found imagery, objects, local observations or more abstract ideas. With guidance, participants will experiment with combining approaches to produce hybrid and experimental prints.
