Creative workshop with the artist Jolanta Mikulskytė

On Saturday 7 February at 13.00, a creative polyester plate lithography workshop with the artist Jolanta Mikulskytė will take place at the KCCC Art Yard (Daržų g. 10); she is currently showing her solo exhibition “Beyond the Surface” at the Exhibition Hall of the Klaipėda Culture Communication Centre (KCCC).

During the creative workshop you will have the opportunity to create and print your own miniature using the polyester plate lithography technique.

Polyester plate lithography is non-toxic and requires no chemicals; it is made using a drawing created with water-resistant drawing materials.

The number of participants is limited; a ticket for the workshop must be purchased in advance.

The ticket price is EUR 9. You can buy tickets here.

* Lithography (litho- + Gr. graphō — I write) is a planographic printmaking technique. Its basis is the lithographic stone (limestone). The printing elements are drawn on the surface of the stone with a greasy pencil, crayons or lithographic ink, and then etched with gum arabic and with mixtures of gum and acid of varying strength. Lithography today combines different media and broader forms of expression: dry lithography (algraphy), offset lithography, photolithography and various combinations — polyester lithography + stone, aluminium plate lithography and so on. The range of expression is extremely wide: drawing, pourings of ink, colourfulness, photography, montages, different degrees of grain and so on. I therefore draw on and develop the possibilities of lithography in my creative processes.

Please note that participants may appear in photographs and video recordings of the event published in various media.
