Stone Lithography Taster Class
Saturday 23 May 2026, 10am-5pm, £90/ £70
Join us on Saturday 23rd of May for this taster class exploring stone lithography
with Alastair Clark.
Drawing directly onto a prepared limestone surface allows a spontaneous approach to mark-making. Find out how artists with wide-ranging styles, such as MC Escher, Jasper Johns, Pablo Picasso, and Kathe Kolwitz, have delighted in the subtleties of the stone.
This 1-day taster class will give you the opportunity to make a print, find out what stone is about before you might consider one of our longer courses. We offer Weekend Courses (2-days), Expanded Practice (3-days) or Evening Courses (6 evenings) in Stone Lithography.Taster classes are not access classes, so you will not be able to use the studio once the course is completed. If you wish to do so, please book onto one of our longer courses.
