The mystery of lithography
Time this month with the vexing issue of lithography.
Working on the stone is a complex process, needing much devotion, experimentation and time to learn and to become acquainted with. It definitely is a technique that has a mind and soul of its own, and demands much respect.
With the help of head technician and master-lithographer, Alistair Clark, I made a careful sample of different marks and processes. This picture gives an idea of what we did at Edinburgh Printmakers Workshop. It is a limestone litho stone with different strengths of wash.
