About the event
In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the innovative technique of kitchen lithography to create a small edition of prints. Participants will learn the fundamentals of alternative lithography as they draw directly onto kitchen foil, etch the image with cola, and print their creations.

The process allows for the capture of direct marks from drawing, resulting in beautiful prints that harken back to the history of scientific illustration as displayed in the current Breaking Ground exhibition.

Throughout the session, participants will produce an edition of five A4 size prints in a single colour. No prior printmaking experience is required. Participants may come with a pre-planned design (no larger than 18 x 22cm) or come empty handed and allow themselves to be inspired by a selection of specimens set up at the Museum. All that’s needed is willingness to learn something new!
