Zoom+Make: Kitchen Lithography
February 22 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$42.00
About this Workshop:
Kitchen lithography uses this principle of hydrophobic and hydrophilic elements to create prints, using materials found in any kitchen. Have fun exploring this experimental technique as you discover the science behind printmaking and other image transfer processes. Think butter, oil, cola!
Level: Beginner – no experience necessary!
Registration closes February 14, 2023 to allow time for students to gather/purchase their materials. With your registration confirmation you’ll receive the full materials list (with helpful links) to purchase your items, any initial handouts about the process, as well as a quick 1-page “how-to” guide to using the Zoom video app.
