Stone Lithography at Edinburgh Printmakers 

I first did this process when I was in printmaking at junior college (this junior college had a slightly more advanced art department than was typical for the time...1967!!). It's a time consuming, physical process, but the end result can be worth it. After working with the lithography I went on to work as a machinist, and then spent most of my life working as a carpenter. Go figure!!!

This appears to be the most professional process I've seen, by far, true craftsmanship.

Fantastic, calm, soul-soothing explanation of the lithography process. Thanks!

Absolutely fascinating. Impressive work, Thank you!

Thank you.

Incredible! The patience and talent needed for this process. Thank you for this video.

What a fabulous video... thank you ❤

Best video I've seen all year. THANK YOU FOR SHARING! - Love from Australia x

Really great description of the process. thank you

1:31 To save others looking it up, the word he saying here is *Tusche*

Really interesting! Plus, this should be one of those Unintentional ASMR channels :P

The technique is fascinating, the subject of that technique ...

Really want to try this. Hope my University has the equipment to do this.

Came here looking for a demonstration of how a photochrome is made. This gives me a better idea. I think I see that in order to colorize a black and white photo, each individual color would need to be added in the correct spot within the image (i.e. green on leaves, blue on water), rather than just blanket tinting the entire picture several times with different colors. Anybody correct me if I'm not understanding correctly.

Wow, this is gonna be a lot of work.. I'm excited

I have 12 lithographs from the 1881 Smithsonian. Zuni and Hopi stuff. I'm looking at some Zuni sashes with red, black, white, green, blue, gray colors. when I look at them under X30 loupe in one example I see fine little black dots inside of other colors of red and black and white forming a solid diamond around smaller diamonds. those colors are smooth and continuous. The little black dots must be about .002-004". The attention to detail is wonderful. Were separate stones used for each color?

What did you use to transfer the laser printed image onto the stone? Thanks

Where do you get new small slabs? I cant find it anywhere!!

That accent ❤️❤️❤️

I was seaching for how to transfer a drawing outline on to the stone, but that small section was very unclear - maybe some one could tell me?

What is black colour liquid ?

Amazing 👌👌

Hello, any idea where i may buy these stones/materials? Would general paving stones which are prepared in such a way suffice? Great video!

What is the typeface used in the titles of the video please?

What is the purpose of the black "oilier stiff printing ink" that's put on multiple times during 3:29 - 4:28 only to be then washed off again and replaced with the "stiff coloured ink". Couldn't you have just put the coloured ink on at 3:29? I think what's happening in this video is that you're actually showing multiple different techniques (to make either a black-ink print, or a coloured-ink print ), but the narrator simply forgot to say so in the video. AFAIK the reality is that the video is just showing the same inking process again if you'd *instead* used a different colour ink, and you don't really do both, you do *either* 3:29 - 4:28 *or* you do 4:28 - 5:11

You keep using the word ink don't you mean resist that shield the surface for the etching?

What's the name of the print shown at 00:12???

Thanks so much.. i am artist/ please see our facebook search for "artist painter". lithography working is most interesting to me and I'm excited.

I bet this guy has a Plumbus.

Sadly as much as it's a cool thing in itself.....tat's just it, the artwork produced is some of the most crap art man. Anything that can be done here dan b produced by conventional means or just pencil/ink on paper though as usual with the artwork it's about how it can be explained more than anything. I have Asperger's I feel like we would make great art judges. Blunt af. Too blunt perhaps 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

This is.. complicated.

Thank god for computers. Please no hate from artisans, I appreciate the skill dedication yada yada
