Mokulito
£195.00
Mokulito, also known as wood litho, is a unique form of printmaking developed in Japan in the 1970’s. The process uses plywood as the printing surface, and draws on the principles of lithography, specifically the antipathy between grease and water. Greasy materials are used to draw and paint imagery on the sanded plywood matrix before being processed. Using wood allows additional marks to be cut into the surface, as with relief printing. When printed, the drawn and cut marks sit together with the ghostly wood grain impressions which becomes more obvious each time the plate is printed, until the plate eventually fills in. The nature of using wood means the prints will all vary a little and create a small edition.
In this 2 day course, participants will prepare their own plywood plates with imagery, using lithographic drawing and painting materials and can add reductive marks with woodcutting tools. At the end of the day you will gum the plates and leave them to rest overnight. On Day 2, you will ink and prepare paper before commencing a day of printing the Mokulito plates.
