Produce high-quality prints using one of two lithographic presses: a large motorized press for plates and a hand press for traditional stones. The multi-step process in this age-old art form allows for intricate details and refined tones to create rich, vibrant prints. To work with stones, printmakers must demonstrate prior training in stone lithography. Once approved, the studio will be your oasis, so bring your ink, papers, and ball-grained aluminum or photo plates.  

Materials provided by Art Gym include basic lithographic chemistry (nitric and phosphoric acid), solvents (litho-tine), asphaltum, gum arabic, carborundum, rollers, Shop Mix black ink, cleaners, and rags. Members are encouraged to utilize our Digital Lab’s large format Epson printer with our 24” in-house film to generate your positives for photolithography.
