Andreea Mateescu Lithography Workshop: Two Weekends in March

Join Andreea Mateescu in learning the basics of stone lithography: grinding, drawing, etching, proofing and printing of black/white prints on paper. The focus of the workshop is to gain confidence in this technique that is still thought to be a magic trick of ‘chemische druckerei’.

Andreea Mateescu was born in Bucharest and is currently based in Vancouver. She recently graduated from Emily Carr University of Art + Design with a concentration in printmaking. Before this, she received a fine arts diploma from Capilano University. In the past, a recurring theme in her prints was to show the beauty of nature unaltered by human intervention and explore how colors can affect the mood of a landscape. However, within the last year her focus has shifted in terms of subject matter and approach. She has moved away from representation and toward abstraction, while working more freely in a loose and intuitive manner. Allowing the process and materials to play a role in the creation of an image has become an important aspect in her practice.
