Book Review and Giveaway Kitchen Lithography

September 4, by Shellie Wilson. 33 Comments

Kitchen Lithography Hand Printing at Home  by Laura Sofie Hantke , Lucas Grassmann  $21.95

 

What is Lithography? For those who don’t know it is the process of printing from a flat surface treated so as to repel the ink except where it is required for printing. Remember back in Art class where you did those Lino prints? Well this is similar but lot’s more fun and way more artistic.

 

When printmakers Laura Sofie Hantke and Lucas Grassmann graduated from university, they found themselves without the luxury of a professional print studio. In their search for an easy technique they could implement in their own home, they came across French artist Amilie Aizier-Brouard’s ingenious Kitchen Lithography, which uses aluminum foil, cola, and oil-based crayons as its main materials, and quickly became ardent fans of and experts in the process, which is eco-friendly, inexpensive, and easy to do. In this book, the first on the subject, they share what they’ve learned through a process of trial and error in an easy-to-follow guide on turning your kitchen into a creative studio. Hand print your own buttons, bags, pillowcases, posters, cards, T-shirts, and labels using simple household ingredients with surprising and bold results. (source)

 

The best thing is your weird Art teacher isn’t going to grade you down for thinking outside the box this time.  I really love when a Craft enables you to be creative from your own insides and not anyone else’s. This book is a must have for your Craft book shelf. We love it so much we are giving 3 copies away!!

 

Thanks to Princeton Architectural Press we are giving 3 lucky readers the chance to get their hands on this book. For your chance to win comment below and tell us what you are planning to print.

Open Worldwide and closes October 15th. Winners will be contacted via e-mail at the close of the giveaway.

    Id like to do gift tags and possibly wrap for my knotted Chritmas presents. When my kids were young they’d paint freezer paper and make our gift wrap. Good memories.

    Art that I can do at my kitchen table is the best. We live small but are creative, so this type of creative expression is perfect for our family.

    I have just ordered 5 yards of medium-weight, bleached linen that was a price I couldn’t pass up. I would love to experiment with making hand-dyed/painted clothing and decor items embellished with stamped designs! This sounds like a wonderful book.
