In this fun and friendly online weekender, you will learn how to create stunning lithographic prints using simple art materials and household items.

On the first day you'll explore the principles of lithography and discover how to create one-colour prints through a series of demonstrations and hands-on tasks led by illustrator and print-maker Viola Wang.

Materials laid out neatly on a table top, including scissors, a spoon, a tube of paint, a bottle of oil, a sponge, a pencil, a pen and a roller with yellow paint on it.
A print of a van with the text 'Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration' on it.

On the second day Viola will introduce colour options: hand colouring and two-colour prints. By the end of the weekend you’ll have created a small run of unique prints with a process that is environment-friendly and non-toxic.

Our small class size of no more than 20 students will ensure that you receive personalised feedback, troubleshooting and group support in a relaxed and friendly learning environment.

Whether you’re looking for a new medium to explore or a creative way to unwind, this weekender is for you! No previous experience of printing is required.

Please note is a repeat of the weekender we ran in May called ‘Make a Lithographic Print’.
