Century Plates

Century Plate Lithography Demonstration at RISD

on Fri, 11/16/2018 - 23:08

I demonstrated Century Plate Lithography, a non-toxic and sustainable process using bio-based, biodegradable etches and processing materials at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)'s Printmaking Department on November 6.  I am thrilled that they have adopted Century Plate Litho for the rest of the semester, in place of ball-grained plates and the traditional, toxic and petroleum-based chemistry.
