T3 Workshop on “MOKULITO” (wood lithography). Given by Ariadna Abadal

From August 19th to 30th 2019

19 — 30 August 2019
Workshops and courses

"MOKULITO" is an alternative printmaking technique, based on the principle of lithography but using wood as a printing plate instead of limestone. It is a non-toxic process developed by professor Seishi Ozaku in Japan in the 1970s. The technique can be combined with woodcut engraving, collage and other processes.

The main advantage of “Mokulito” compared with conventional lithography is that fact that large formats can easily be worked on. The artist is not conditioned by the size of the lithographic stone (with large pieces being hard to find). It is a very spontaneous technique, allowing for free expressive strokes. Single prints and printed edi-tions can be created, depending on the creative process followed by each individual artist. This workshop is aimed at artists in general wishing to get to know and experiment with alternative printmaking procedures. No prior knowledge of copper engraving or lithography is necessary.
