Hot Off the Press

Over the years, many students have suggested that I create a book from my detailed and many-paged instructions for learning Part 1 of my Century Plate Lithography classes and tutorials.

Now you can purchase my instruction book, Non-toxic Century Plate Lithography Part 1 in printed or E-book formats from Blurb.com and from me directly.

Non-toxic Century Plate Lithography Part 1 introduces printmakers to a new, sustainable and environmentally friendly way to produce high-quality, professional, hand-pulled lithographs without using toxic and petroleum-based materials.

This instruction book covers how to grain a new plate, registration methods and plate preparation, drawing directly on the plate with a variety of materials, etching, processing, proofing and printing in black ink on a lithographic press and etching press, as well as how to clean and store an inked plate or re-grain a plate for a new image.  Enjoy!
