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 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!
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.
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?
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.
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. 👌🏻
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!
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...
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.
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.
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...

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.

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.

Good job! Easy, affordable, no contamination and beautiful results! Thanks!
Because talc and dilute acid are so scary.
That was a GREAT video! Very clearly articulated! 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!
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?
Thanks for sharing!!
Looks like fun. I can't wait to try it!!!
Thanks
Dave
Brilliant. Thank you. But please camera person, stay on the table.
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!!
Now I can so do this for my homeschooler art kids. Thank you.
Never heard of seen this technique before. Intriguing 😮
Fabulous video- so informative, I am now going to look up lithographic pencil. This alchemy is very exciting! Thank you so much.
Very helpful demo. Really loved 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.
Better to degrease with vinegar water.
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 : )

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.
Thanks for such a clear and inspiring video.
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. 👌🏻
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.
Felicia you do a great job - thanks - :D
this was really interesting but sadly I don't have a print press in my kitchen..😪
Hey Felicia thanks alot for nice instructional vid!

Thanks
This was an excellent technique!
Can an aluminum plate from the hardware store work?
That's fascinating ! I'm so doing that.
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!
This is amazing! Thank you so much for this video!
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...
Nice video and instructions...Thanks!
I'm speechless.
you need to do a video on simple silk screeneing
very nice video !!before vinegar and after vegetable oil what is that you use ? answer me please !
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 can i use instead of a lytho crayon?
I believe 00 steel wool would do a better job in my opinion. Have you ever tried it instead of sand paper?
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.
Great Job !
What kind of pencil did you use?
What is your press? Thank you
Great video! thank you! What kind of crayon did you use?
SOOOO informative and fun ! thank you.
Awesome technique!
Excellent work thank you sooo much.
Love this! Thank you very much!
Could you etch an aluminium plate like this? I mean, flashing?
Why not? I've considered finding that out myself.
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...
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 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.
Hello Felicia, did you build the press yourself?
no she bought it in an arts and craft store
can i use the ink that is suitable for lino printing? i saw someone using specific ink, that's why i am asking.
Are you able to print without a press using this method
Sit on it
Looking forward to trying this.
Will the vegetable oil clean up oil paint as well, or just the ink?
Thanks for present my Hope
Can I use alcohol instead of vinegar?
what are you using to draw the image?
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...

after you use oil to clean the plate, do you then need t clean the oil off the plate?
Can I use a printing roller instead of a press?
Is a litho crayon like normal crayon?
Will any grease pencil or wax based crayon work?
Thanks Felicia, do you get a second print from the foil?
Yes, just re-ink
This is awesome thank you!
Is a oil pen or charcoal?
Magic)),Thanks for sharing))
Basically DIY offset printing
Very good!
Superb
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…
very nice!
Thats magic :)))

nice one....
Whats a Litho caryon?
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.
Perfect for school teachers!
This shit is boring
very nice
Mine is inking everything but the image, how?
im having the same problem. Did you figure out why?
excellent!

Hey What model press machine do you have?
Thank you , great
I love this! What does the cola do? (I hope you see this, I’m a little late to the party)
