A direct, fun printmaking technique that allows you to create a range of gestural and mark making that is similar to traditional lithography but uses a quicker, safer and less toxic approach.

Plus it uses easy to access materials and you can print it using an etching press !

You will be making a series of plates, experimenting with a range of drawing materials e.g. sharpies, crayola washable markers and will use Indian ink, toner, acrylic inks to create beautiful fluid textures.

We will then experiment printing the plates in a variety of ways to create a small series of works.
