Zinc plate lithography is one of printmaking’s most expressive processes, often described as the printmaker’s equivalent of drawing and painting. Artists work directly on a smooth metal plate using greasy drawing materials such as lithographic crayon, pencil and liquid tusche, creating marks that range from delicate lines and soft washes to rich, velvety blacks.

Over four weeks, students will learn how to prepare a zinc plate, draw on it using traditional lithographic materials, chemically process the plate and print a small edition using the Takach Lithography press. The process works through the interaction of grease and water: greasy marks attract ink while damp areas of the plate repel it. This class welcomes artists of all levels. Beginners will receive clear, step-by-step guidance, while more experienced artists and printmakers will have the opportunity to explore lithographic mark-making and deepen their understanding of the process.
