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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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. 👌🏻
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...

@@penyunnethat does not make sense. I think grease crayon prevents cola from etching the foil, so only white areas are etched. Then oil removes crayon. And water only covers etched areas while beading away from unetched. Water then prevents oily paint from sticking to those. Wonder if you can etch with vinegar instead of coke.
@@tomasharviemudrunka3168 You're right, I worded it wrong. Also vinegar probably wouldn't do it because you need phosphoric acid which the coke contains to etch the foil.
Genius! You have just made lithography completely affordable and DOABLE for an elementary art teacher!!!!

College Teacher in Lockdown 2021 very grateful here; students' experimentation with mediums will be that bit more substantial thanks to you.

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!
That was a GREAT video! Very clearly articulated! Thank you SO much!
Good job! Easy, affordable, no contamination and beautiful results! Thanks!
Because talc and dilute acid are so scary.

how'd this project go?

Thanks for sharing!!
Looks like fun. I can't wait to try it!!!
Thanks

Very helpful demo. Really loved it. Thank you.
This was an excellent technique!
Never heard of seen this technique before. Intriguing 😮
Now I can so do this for my homeschooler art kids. Thank you.
Fabulous video- so informative, I am now going to look up lithographic pencil. This alchemy is very exciting! Thank you so much.
Great presentation. Great verbal instructions. Other “kitchen Litho” videos try doing all visual/no verbal. Not as instructive
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.
Brilliant. Thank you. But please camera person, stay on the table.
very nice video !!before vinegar and after vegetable oil what is that you use ? answer me please !
Felicia you do a great job - thanks - :D

downtime86 stars I was wondering the same. Have you figured anything out on your own? 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!
Oh yeah Thank You so much for the Vegetable oil and ink on the brayer tip!
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.
Awesome Video I can’t wait to do this! Thank You so much.
Can an aluminum plate from the hardware store work?
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.
Nice video and instructions...Thanks!
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.
This is amazing! Thank you so much for this video!
Will the vegetable oil clean up oil paint as well, or just the ink?
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...
can i use the ink that is suitable for lino printing? i saw someone using specific ink, that's why i am asking.
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.
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
What kind of pencil did you use?
What is your press? Thank you
after you use oil to clean the plate, do you then need t clean the oil off the plate?
this was really interesting but sadly I don't have a print press in my kitchen..😪
What can i use instead of a lytho crayon?
what are you using to draw the image?
Great Job !
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.
Excellent work thank you sooo much.
Awesome technique!
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.
That's fascinating ! I'm so doing that.
you need to do a video on simple silk screeneing
Can I use a printing roller instead of a press?
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. 👌🏻
SOOOO informative and fun ! thank you.
What an interesting process!!! Very clear tutorial.. I'm dying to try this!! Thanks a million!!
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...
Are you able to print without a press using this method
Sit on it
Love this! Thank you very much!
Is a oil pen or charcoal?
Will any grease pencil or wax based crayon work?
I believe 00 steel wool would do a better job in my opinion. Have you ever tried it instead of sand paper?
Thanks Felicia, do you get a second print from the foil?
Yes, just re-ink
Can I use alcohol instead of vinegar?
Thanks for present my Hope
Great video! thank you! What kind of crayon did you use?
Whats a Litho caryon?
Could you use a spray bottle of cola rather than pouring it?
Could you etch an aluminium plate like this? I mean, flashing?
Why not? I've considered finding that out myself.
Is a litho crayon like normal crayon?
Hello Felicia, did you build the press yourself?
no she bought it in an arts and craft store
Magic)),Thanks for sharing))
This is awesome thank you!
Looking forward to trying this.
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

I'm speechless.
Superb
Very good!
nice one....
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?
Excellent "esplicación"
Thank you , great
I love this! What does the cola do? (I hope you see this, I’m a little late to the party)
La Kitchen litho a été inventée en juin 2011 par l’artiste vosgienne Émilie Aizier, alias Émilion.
Loved this but the background music is too loud and competes with your instructions…
Basically DIY offset printing
Wow!!!!
Perfect for school teachers!
This shit is boring
Cametaman ...be focus on the object not the artist!
can the music
