About

Otis Tamasauskas, a well-known artist and Master Printmaker, will take you on an amazing journey through the history of a print process, discovered by Alois Senefelder more than two centuries ago. The litho stones had even longer existence on this earth, having been formed during the Jurassic period.

Today, no longer a viable method of commercial printing, the stone lithography is favoured by fine art creators and printmakers.

For this demonstration, Otis will be accompanied by George Walker, Master Printmaker and Engraver.

Howard Iron Works Printing Museum

Howard Iron Works Printing Museum is a printing history museum, located in Oakville. The collection is consisting of machinery used in printing and related industries, from 1830s to the mid 20th century.

Howard Iron Works is supported by world-class talent in order to restore and present equipment just as it would have been when leaving the original factories.

We hope you will enjoy the site and pay a visit where rare and unusual machinery comes to life.
