Polyester Plate Lithography Weekend Course

Polyester Plate Lithography

Tutor: Brian Barry

10am – 6pm

€150

This course offers a beginner friendly alternative to traditional stone and metal plate lithography. Polyester plates are light, flexible, semi-transparent and offer a high quality printed image. From drawing to printed edition, the process flows with minimal use of chemicals throughout. Course participants will use permanent markers, biros and a homemade toning solution to create their drawings directly on the plate. Digital options with laser jet printers will also be demonstrated, opening the door to unique digital-handmade possibilities. Participants finish the course having produced a series of prints.

Cork Printmakers reserves the right to cancel any course with insufficient enrolment, and when this occurs any and all prepaid fees will be refunded.
