Waterless Lithography Demo & Shop-talk with Otis Tamasauskas

Pure, Simple, Bold,  Waterless Lithography at Its Best

Waterless Lithography is a genuine hands-on printing process, simple, affordable, and accessible to anyone with curiosity and a willingness to experiment. With just a few materials, most of which can be found at your local hardware store, you can set up and print in your own home, studio, or community print space. The process keeps the spirit of lithography alive while stripping away the complications of delicate water/ink balance and harsh chemicals traditionally involved in the craft.
