Kitchen Lithography with Viola Wang
2 day course
19 & 20 November 2026
10am to 4pm
£295 including all materials
Kitchen lithography is an accessible and non-toxic printmaking technique, offering a fresh take on traditional lithography by using readily available materials like cola and kitchen foil. Although the material list seems humble, you'll be able to apply nearly all traditional lithographic techniques to produce art print editions. It's such an empowering feeling to know you can practice printmaking in your own kitchen and even on the go!
Over this two-day course, you will learn the fundamentals of lithography, experiment with various materials and techniques, troubleshoot common issues, and produce your own unique, limited-edition lithographs. Besides learning hand printing with a variety of papers, we will also explore multi-colour and multi-plate approaches using a printing press, enabling you to create more ambitious work and larger editions.
