Lo-Fi Printmaking - Kitchen Lithography

Kitchen lithography tutorial for Medway Print Festival '20 Lockdown.
Using tin foil and cola, Xtina Lamb from Medway Fine Printmakers in Rochester (North Kent) shows you how to create lithographs in your kitchen with a miraculous fast and easy technique. Great for people who like drawing with soft sketchy lines.
This kitchen-friendly version of lithography was developed by Émilie Aizier (alias Émilion) as a response to the toxic chemicals, special equipment and long learning process required for stone lithography.

Cheap cola
Extra strong tin foil
Vegetable oil
Old newspaper or magazine
Kitchen roll
Scissors
Smooth paper (120gsm or heavier)
T-shirt material rags, or sponges
Small rubber roller
Water dish

Washing up bowl
Small tub or bowl
Oil based litho / relief ink (intaglioprintm...)
