Lithography Printing Made Simple

Lithography is a printing process that traditionally uses a flat stone or metal plate. Artists use greasy drawing materials to make original images, text or to explore textures onto the stones or metal plates; which are then printed onto paper. The process was invented in 1796 by author and actor Alois Senefelder while experimenting to find a cheap method of reproducing theatrical works. Explore the Riverside Gallery’s new exhibition by Oaks Editions Lithography Studio to discover more about this fascinating printmaking medium.
