This is so cool. I took a lithography class in college over 40 years ago. We did transfer to metal and drawing directly in the metal in addition to stone. This brought back a lot of memories.
That is such a cool technique. I would have NEVER thought of doing it that way. Now, I've always loved vegetable or for cleaning up oily things. Sounds backwards but you're very spot on with that. It's great for removing things that had stickers or adhesive on plastics, glass etc. Thanks for the video! Very informative!
Great video! I didn't think there was a way to do Lithography without the harsh chemicals and giant presses. I will have to give this a shot. In college, we did use prepped aluminum plates, instead of the stones... Much easier to take home to work on. We also learned how to transfer laser jet/ Xerox ink to the plate, which creates the areas for the ink to stick. I wonder if that would work here? I did involve acetone though, which is not exactly a "Kitchen" ingredient.
I have been looking for a process to make prints for some Japanese Kumiko lanterns I am contemplating. I want it to look primitive but not too primitive. Simple designs. Going to make the paper myself too. This is worth trying. Thank You for sharing knowledge with the rest of us!
Hey Felicia thanks alot for nice instructional vid! Considering that you have a feel about the pressure which the roller applies to the felt and the underlying plate, do you think that such a print will work with one of those DIY bottle jack presses? I don't think too much pressure is needed? I've done this with stone back at school but the press there was so huge that one cannot get any feel of it. Thanks
Wow! Interesting! I've never done this kind of thing before..i might give it a try someday...can you use a Big Shot and the plates that go with it? Thank you!
Can you do multiple colors? Very simple process and for little money which I have seems to have plenty of its very affordable. Thanks for beautiful work and a great idea.
Thank you for this wonderful video!! I would add a final clean-up step for the brayer of washing off the veg. oil film with soap and water, otherwise the oil makes the rubber sticky over time.
Love it. We are in Covid-19 so my only catch it that my students don't have access to a press, since we are banned from all buildings at my university. They could do this at home. Have you tried a hard rolling pin over blankets to print? I'd like to get them to try this since everything except the press is readily available. thanks.
Hi thanks for this video. I have been trying to do this for weeks and is not working is inking everywhere. I'm wondering if is an ink problem? I'm using oil based for relief. Should i change it for etching ink? Thanks.
Two questions: 1. Would club soda work (they charge a stupidly high tax on regular soda where I live)? and 2. How many prints can you pull off of the one plate?
I also cure the plate with gum Arabic and citric acid- seems to help with tendency for gumming. Good video and nicely demonstrated!! Nice print too. 👌🏻
I've only got water-washable oil based etching ink at home at the moment, but I'm guessing that wouldn't work..? I don't have a press yet either now that i think of it...
Never heard of Dicki Blick (I don't think they have an outlet here) but I have since seen on other tutorials one can use grease pencil too. I don't have a press though...

Nani Lee you can't use sparkling water since it had to be acidic to etch the tin foil, but i don't know if you can reuse the coke, i guess you'll have to try
@@mutably Colas have Phosphoric Acid in addition to the Carbon Dioxide. The Phosphoric Acid is what does the etching. Soda water does not have the acid. Yes, the cola can be saved and reused multiple times. b.
My ink will not stick to my plate! I followed the process exactly. I can see the "ghost image" after using the vegetable oil so I don't think it is an issue with the etching. I am using Akua brand ink, which are water based. Could that be the issue?
+lullabye13 Yes this is probably the issue. Try any black offset ink for uncoated papers - I think it should work pretty good. Or any lithographic ink. Maybe intaglio printmaking ink will also work.
You can't use water based ink as it will not adhere to the vegetable oil which is 'sitting' in the etched out part of the plate. The veg oil is what gets the ink to stick to the plate and as we know oil and water don't mix. That's also why we ensure that the plate always stays damp while inking up so that we don't get nasty blotches of ink in the negative space.
Please... Say that this technique was discoverd by a french women EMILIE AIZIER !!! Technique de lithographie simple non toxique créée en juin 2011 !!! Thank's a lot !!!
Pretty sure she did not invent it, we were doing this in primary school back in the 80's. I'm 45 now, I remember this vividly as I have done it after many times as well. So please stop spreading this non sense, she has a video on youtube claiming she is the original but she sadly isn't. Instead of coke, you can also use vinegar itself only downside is it needs a minute to etch completely. In the same light I could credit my creative arts teacher in my 6th grade for being the original. Emilie probably took the idea from an old 70's chemistry experiments book, I will see if I can find the original book where my art teacher got it from. It most definitely isn't emilie.
Absolutely marvelous! Thank you! Please give credit for your background music: to the author of the music and to the performing musician. If you are the musician and/or the author, toot your own horn!
Genius! You have just made lithography completely affordable and DOABLE for an elementary art teacher!!!!
That was a GREAT video! Very clearly articulated! Thank you SO much!
This is so cool. I took a lithography class in college over 40 years ago. We did transfer to metal and drawing directly in the metal in addition to stone. This brought back a lot of memories.
Great presentation. Great verbal instructions. Other “kitchen Litho” videos try doing all visual/no verbal. Not as instructive

Good job! Easy, affordable, no contamination and beautiful results! Thanks!
Fabulous video- so informative, I am now going to look up lithographic pencil. This alchemy is very exciting! Thank you so much.

I can't access my print studio this year because of COVID, but this gave me a way to keep doing litho!! thank you so much!
This is amazing! Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks for sharing!!
Looks like fun. I can't wait to try it!!!
Thanks
Dave
Felicia you do a great job - thanks - :D
This was an excellent technique!
College Teacher in Lockdown 2021 very grateful here; students' experimentation with mediums will be that bit more substantial thanks to you.
I have been looking for a process to make prints for some Japanese Kumiko lanterns I am contemplating. I want it to look primitive but not too primitive. Simple designs. Going to make the paper myself too. This is worth trying. Thank You for sharing knowledge with the rest of us!
how'd this project go?
Oh yeah Thank You so much for the Vegetable oil and ink on the brayer tip!
Awesome Video I can’t wait to do this! Thank You so much.

SOOOO informative and fun ! thank you.
Nice video and instructions...Thanks!
Awesome technique!
Love this! Thank you very much!
Now I can so do this for my homeschooler art kids. Thank you.
Brilliant. Thank you. But please camera person, stay on the table.
Thanks for such a clear and inspiring video.
Never heard of seen this technique before. Intriguing 😮
This is awesome thank you!
What an interesting process!!! Very clear tutorial.. I'm dying to try this!! Thanks a million!!
Wow! Interesting! I've never done this kind of thing before..i might give it a try someday...can you use a Big Shot and the plates that go with it? Thank you!
loved it up till the part where you have to have a printing bed!!
Can you do multiple colors? Very simple process and for little money which I have seems to have plenty of its very affordable. Thanks for beautiful work and a great idea.
That's fascinating ! I'm so doing that.
Excellent work thank you sooo much.
Very helpful demo. Really loved it. Thank you.
very nice video !!before vinegar and after vegetable oil what is that you use ? answer me please !
Thank you for this wonderful video!! I would add a final clean-up step for the brayer of washing off the veg. oil film with soap and water, otherwise the oil makes the rubber sticky over time.
Better to degrease with vinegar water.
Would this still work with sheets of aluminum flashing? I feel like you'd have a sturdier plate and wouldn't have to worry about the foil wrinkling
I'm speechless.
Love it. We are in Covid-19 so my only catch it that my students don't have access to a press, since we are banned from all buildings at my university. They could do this at home. Have you tried a hard rolling pin over blankets to print? I'd like to get them to try this since everything except the press is readily available. thanks.
Will the vegetable oil clean up oil paint as well, or just the ink?
Looking forward to trying this.
you need to do a video on simple silk screeneing
what are you using to draw the image?
very nice share, I have always like this
Hello Felicia, did you build the press yourself?
no she bought it in an arts and craft store
after you use oil to clean the plate, do you then need t clean the oil off the plate?
Hi thanks for this video. I have been trying to do this for weeks and is not working is inking everywhere. I'm wondering if is an ink problem? I'm using oil based for relief. Should i change it for etching ink? Thanks.
Two questions: 1. Would club soda work (they charge a stupidly high tax on regular soda where I live)? and 2. How many prints can you pull off of the one plate?
downtime86 stars I was wondering the same. Have you figured anything out on your own? Thanks : )
Can I use a printing roller instead of a press?
Great Job !
How do you press it without a pressing machine? Can you use rollers but with a lot of force
Maybe a wooden spoon? Or a Japanese baren type of tool like the Disk Baren.
Maybe a pasta machine. Haven't really tried it with this litho technique yet but it works for drypoint etching.
Thanks Felicia, do you get a second print from the foil?
Yes, just re-ink
Great video! thank you! What kind of crayon did you use?
Will any grease pencil or wax based crayon work?
That is awesome
I believe 00 steel wool would do a better job in my opinion. Have you ever tried it instead of sand paper?
Magic)),Thanks for sharing))
Superb
Wearing some nitrile gloves really makes this a hell of a lot easier ... just a suggestion to a highly informative video.
I also cure the plate with gum Arabic and citric acid- seems to help with tendency for gumming.
Good video and nicely demonstrated!! Nice print too. 👌🏻
amazing
I've only got water-washable oil based etching ink at home at the moment, but I'm guessing that wouldn't work..? I don't have a press yet either now that i think of it...
Thanks for present my Hope
Thank you , great
Very good!
can i use the ink that is suitable for lino printing? i saw someone using specific ink, that's why i am asking.
Very cool except I have no idea where to get hold of a litho crayon. Is there anything else that one could use?
You can buy the crayon at Dicki Blick art supplies
Never heard of Dicki Blick (I don't think they have an outlet here) but I have since seen on other tutorials one can use grease pencil too. I don't have a press though...

Brilliant
Very informative video. Is there a way to transfer the image without using the press?
You could also use a spoon and press until you think its done, but that takes a lot of time and effort...
nice one....
Could you etch an aluminium plate like this? I mean, flashing?
Why not? I've considered finding that out myself.
Thats magic :)))
Is a oil pen or charcoal?
Is it lithographic pencil you are using??
Yes, it’s a litho crayon. But you could also use a regular crayons crayon to do this process. Better results with litho, though.
Could you use a spray bottle of cola rather than pouring it?
Can I use alcohol instead of vinegar?
this was really interesting but sadly I don't have a print press in my kitchen..😪
very nice!
Can you re use coke? Or can be replaced by sparking water?
Nani Lee you can't use sparkling water since it had to be acidic to etch the tin foil, but i don't know if you can reuse the coke, i guess you'll have to try
@@mutably Colas have Phosphoric Acid in addition to the Carbon Dioxide. The Phosphoric Acid is what does the etching. Soda water does not have the acid. Yes, the cola can be saved and reused multiple times. b.
excellent!
Perfect for school teachers!
This shit is boring
Are you able to print without a press using this method

Yup, Felicia mentioned in the video that she's using an oil based ink, that's why it works with the vegetable oil. ;)
I love this! What does the cola do? (I hope you see this, I’m a little late to the party)
Is a litho crayon like normal crayon?
Excellent "esplicación"
Basically DIY offset printing
very nice
सुन्दर
Why she deletes the drawing with vegetable oil and it appears later when she put the ink on it?
It got etched into the foil when she poured cola over it. The vegetable oil then got the ink to stick into the etched parts.
Hey What model press machine do you have?
Mine is inking everything but the image, how?
im having the same problem. Did you figure out why?
La Kitchen litho a été inventée en juin 2011 par l’artiste vosgienne Émilie Aizier, alias Émilion.
Whats a Litho caryon?
