Pronto Plate Lithography Workshop at Otherwise Studios

Learn traditional lithography techniques on an intaglio press using the pronto plate lithography method during this 2-part workshop, May 16 & 23!

Learn how to create an image, work with greasy & oil-sensitive materials when creating artwork, how to affix your image on your pronto plate, and print an edition of prints to take home.

Lithography is a printmaking process based on the concept that oil and water don’t mix. The printmaker draws or paints using oily materials, onto a flat stone, prepared metal plate, or polyester plate. This image is made “permanent” through a series of chemical reactions and then printed using oil-based ink. The pronto plate method is a safer method without the harmful chemicals required for traditional stone lithography.
