In this 1-day workshop, students will explore printmaking using accessible and non-toxic materials. Invented by artist Émilie Aizier in 2011, kitchen lithography, also referred to as tin foil lithography, utilizes the reaction between oil and water, similar to stone and plate litho printing methods. Students will learn how to create reproductions of drawings in ink without a press, using common household supplies like Coca-Cola, aluminum foil, vegetable oil, and a wooden spoon. No harsh chemicals! While kitchen lithography does require the use of an oil-based ink, students will wear protective latex gloves, and cleanup requires a mixture of dish soap and vegetable oil – nothing caustic. Students will be provided with items and images in class for drawing inspiration and will briefly discuss and practice various mark-making techniques. This workshop focuses on smaller prints as a straight-forward entry point, no prior experience is necessary.
