Paper Plate Lithography & Accordion Books (Long Weekend)

Use toner-based images printed on standard copy paper to create Lithographs; aka “paper plate lithography.” Use markers and other permanent black drawing materials to create images. Then, convert these images into paper matrixes with a laser jet printer which you will process and print on an etching press. Also, explore drawing on Pronto plates and printing directly from the drawings. Once the lithographs are printed, use these prints to make accordion-style books. All levels welcome.
