9. 12. 25 HOW IS LITHOGRAPHY PRINTED? PART II
On the evening of December 9, 2025, our Gallery hosted its second workshop on the theme "How is lithography printed?". This time with artist Jiří Slíva and again with the excellent printer Petr Korbelář. Together we printed a limited edition of 15 pieces of the CIN CIN Scissors lithograph, which you can now view in our Gallery on Betlémské náměstí, or purchase through our e-shop.
Stone printing, also known as lithography, is a planographic printing technique that utilizes the chemical properties of grease and water on a special stone. The artist draws on fine-grained limestone with a greasy lithographic pencil, ink, or crayon, and after chemical preparation of the stone, applies printing ink to it. The drawn areas accept the printing ink, while the undrawn areas repel the ink. Through this process, the lithographic stone with the drawing is ready for printing.
Thank you to everyone who shared this evening with us, and I firmly believe that you enjoyed it.
