Continuing Education at PAFA

Tuesdays, 12:30 - 3:30 p.m. 
Instructor: Justine Ditto
Six-Week Short Course (18 Hours) 

Photolithography the process by which images are photographically transferred to a plate and then printed. This wonderfully approachable practice allows students to transition from image creation to printing relatively quickly while still learning the principles of lithographic printmaking. In this short course, students will be guided through the process of creating lithographs using both photographic materials and hand-drawn imagery. Instruction will cover film drawing techniques, plate exposure, developing, and press printing. Each student will produce one monochromatic photolithograph printed either in black or a color.  Advanced students may have time to make two prints or one two-color print.  This type of printmaking is excellent as an introduction to lithography as well as a great technique for experienced printmakers to add to their repertoire. Tuition includes a $20 lab fee.

Note: Due to the number of steps and detailed process in this medium, most of the work will be done during class time through direct instruction and with the instructor present. Only students with previous lithography experience will be permitted to print outside of class.  Students who miss more than one class may not be able to complete the course work as demonstrations cannot be repeated due within the condensed format.
