Stone Lithography Courses at Oaks Editions |
|
THE COURSES Stone lithography courses are organised several times a year both at weekends and on weekdays. They are suitable for artists with or without previous experience of printmaking. Typically, participants are art students, art teachers, college lecturers, serious amateurs and professional artists in other media. As the number of places on the courses is kept to a maximum of four, each participant is encouraged to explore the medium in the way which is most appropriate to his or her own interests and experience, ranging from an introduction to the main technical processes of stone lithography, including preparation of stones, principal drawing and painting techniques and materials and printing skills, to more specialised subjects such as colour and transfer lithography. Other course formats and dates are negotiable: for example, one day courses have been run for staff from the Word & Image Department of the V&A Museum and the Conservation Department of the British Library.
DATES FOR 2012 1. Saturday 24th—Sunday 25th March & Saturday 31st March—Sunday 1st April 2. Monday 30th July—Thursday 2nd August 3. Saturday 13th—Sunday 14th & Saturday 20th—Sunday 21st October If you are interested but cannot make the published dates, please contact us anyway as we will try to organise a supplementary course if there are enough participants.
