heavy stones - second weekend

Closeup photos of our one stone follow (below). Our class took turns drawing on the open or prepared stone, using black crayon pencils. There are four closeups to show you the variety of forms these  materials can make.

"Not sure Lithography is my favourite type print making art media. I had never even set foot into a litho shop until yesterday. What I found out was that it is very methodical and scientific in its processing. For me, the original drawing on the stone was the favourite part of the process."    Eric Lehnert

Doug Osa charges the stone surface with ink, while classmates Saskia and Eric Lehnert watch from left.


We wanted to thank Mike Sims and everyone involved at the workshop on March 23rd at Lawrence Lithography Workshop.  We all learned a great deal and had a great time.  Mike Sims is a master at his work.  We were all amazed at his attention to detail.  It was a great experience.

Thank you so much for this opportunity,
Sincerely,
Tom and Debbie Ferguson
