Photo-Lithography Refresher Class
For people with previous lithography experience only
with Alastair Clark
If you've recently done a class but haven't returned to the studio to do an induction within a month then your next step is to attend a refresher class. The refresher course is 5.5 hours of teaching time and is hands on. During this time we will run through the process in brief covering each step: plate making, registration, setting up to print, ink mix, setting up the press and printing.
This is a hands on course so bring an image with you so you have something to work with on the day. Being a short class, we won’t spend much time with image development so it helps if you have something simple with you to work from.
Time spent in Refresher Class gives you experience and counts towards your workshop induction so you become familiar with using the studio. Once you have attended a refresher course you will be eligible to take out a membership with all of the associated benefits.
Who are refresher sessions for?
- For lapsed members of EP
- Printmakers with good experience in the process but new to EP
- People who have completed a weekend course but are looking for some more support/assistance to build up confidence/experience before working in the studio
Please Note:
This course is NOT suitable for people with NO experience in Photo Plate Lithography - (our weekend access courses are intended for those new to a process) If you are unsure if you are suitably experienced to attend, we ask that you email us in advance of booking at alastair.clark@edinburghprintmakers.co.uk with the following information:
- When was the last time you did litho?
- What courses have you attended and where?
- Do you have examples of prints you have printed yourself using this process? Please provide images if you can.
- What other print studios have you worked in?
Some people will be required to attend more than one refresher session before gaining access to membership and working unassisted in the print studio. This will be dependant on each individual's previous experience and the complexity of the particular print process.
