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.

Bucolic Printmaking Weekend at Snow Farm

Submitted by cherrypress1
on Mon, 07/22/2019 - 18:20

 

I spent a gorgeous three-day weekend teaching a group of very talented artists during my Experimental Printmaking class at Snow Farm in Williamsburg, MA June 7-9.  We covered relief, intaglio, monotype, collagraph and chine collet printmaking techniques and experimented with combining some or all of them to create colorful, textural multi-layered prints using non-toxic materials, recycled objects and water-soluble ink. 

What a great way to start the summer!  Stay posted for more photos of the wonderful work my students produced in the Galleries pages on this website.

Those who prefer lithographic limestones will like the similar surface texture we can

Mark Silverberg (formerly of Mark Silverberg Editions, Oaxaca, Mexico) came to the studio from Thailand for several days of immersion in non-toxic Century Plate lithography.  Mark is planning to open a new shop in Chiang Mai, where he will return to collaborating on and printing fine art lithographs for artists using re-usable Century Plates and the bio-based biodegradable processing materials invented by Professor Dwight Pogue and Inventor/Engineer Skip Klepacki of C.S. Pogue Graphics. We had a blast printing test plates and pushing the boundries.
