Courses for Lithography • Cyanotype (VHS)
Available as two-day weekend or six-weeks workshops
Participants will be introduced to the techniques of lithography or cyanotype and will create their own image design through preparatory work on stone, drawing, preparation, and printing. The practical work will be accompanied by information on the history of the techniques and art appreciation. Please bring drawings or similar with you, if available.
Lithography
Two stones can be drawn. The printing of at least one stone is guaranteed. The workshop price includes 5 prints of each stone on high-quality paper and 1 print on handmade paper. Additional prints will be charged according to consumption. Current prices are listed in our Price Sheet.
Materials: Stones, ink/chalk, and printing inks will be provided.
Cyanotype
Participants will be introduced to the technique of cyanotype. In the workshop, a light-sensitive liquid is first applied to a flat material. An important design decision is already made during this process. Therefore, Day 1 is dedicated to developing the motif, applying the liquid, and conducting initial exposure tests. On the second day of the workshop, a print can be made and various experiments can be carried out. The maximum format is A3.
Materials: Suitable paper and other necessary materials will be provided. Participants are welcome to experiment with materials they bring with them. If you wish to expose digital images, computers, printers, and transparencies up to DIN A3 size are available for creating negatives. This also allows you to experiment with fonts, etc.
