Description

Tutor: Michael Timmins

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
In this one-day workshop, students will use lithography crayons, pencils, paint, and Litho tusche to create drawings on transparent films. The marks created on the films are then transferred to the plate with the aid of ultraviolet light. The plate is then rolled up in ink, paper is placed on the plate and run through the lithography press which transfers the image from plate to paper. This method is known for its ability to reproduce expressive, hand-drawn marks, shading, and texture. Plate lithography requires less work than traditional stone lithography.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course is suitable for both beginners and more advanced students who are interested in learning lithography techniques. If you have a love of mark-making this course is for you.

REQUIREMENTS AND MATERIALS
Participants should bring along any ideas, sketches, photographs and an apron. All other materials will be supplied by the Studio.

WHAT YOU CAN DO NEXT
After this course, you can go on to do other planographic printmaking workshops, including Stone Lithography, Screenprinting and Screenprinting Evening Class.

ABOUT THE TUTOR
Michael Timmins graduated from Technological University Dublin in 1999 with an honours degree in Printmaking. He worked as a print technician at Black Church Print Studio from 2000 to 2007 and at IADT from 2011 to 2016, while also making his own art. He joined Graphic Studio Dublin in 2006 and has been a member on and off since then. In 2007, he travelled to New Mexico to take part in the Tamarind Institute printer training programme. He graduated in 2008 with a professional printer certificate. Following this, he worked for a time as a staff printer at Landfall Press in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 2011, he established Independent Editions, a studio that collaborated with many well-known Irish artists in the production of fine art lithographs. He has worked professionally as an artist printmaker for over 20 years and has facilitated courses in all print studios in Ireland. He works primarily in the medium of Lithography but is also proficient in screenprint, collagraph, and monoprint.
