From 7 to 14 June 2024, RUFA students Sofia Sonvico and Vittorio Venturoli flew to Vilnius to take part in the Erasmus+ BIP (Blended Intensive Programme): “Uncovering. The Magnetism of the Lithography Stones”, a 7-day intensive workshop to discover the art of lithography at the Vilnius Academy of Arts (VDA)<\/a>, in the company of over 20 students from Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Poland and Spain.
\nThe workshop was supervised by the lecturer of the Graphics Department Jolanta Mikulskut\u0117.<\/h4>\n

 
\nLithography, the youngest and most direct of printmaking techniques, allows artists to dialogue with stones that are millions of years old. The lithographic stone, with its extraordinary magnetism, inspires artists to explore the possibilities of print culture. The Uncovering<\/em> course focused on these possibilities, making lithography one of the greatest artistic adventures of our time.
\nIn just seven days, participants engaged in an intensive and in-depth workshop on creative stone lithography at the Graphic laboratory of the VDA faculty in Vilnius. From choosing lithographic stones, grinding them, creating extraordinary conceptual compositions, etching with a mixture of gum arabic and nitric acid, inking, and printing, the students worked with vigor and intensity for seven stimulating days.
