Exploring the Eco-Friendly Potential of Wood Apple Fruit Gum in Lithography

ABSTRACT

This paper explores the potential of wood apple fruit gum as a sustainable and natural binder for artists in the field of lithography. Lithography, as a printmaking technique, often involves the use of synthetic binders. However, the shift towards eco-friendly alternatives has led to the investigation of natural binders such as wood apple fruit gum. This paper discusses the properties of wood apple fruit gum, its historical use, its application as a binder in lithography, and its environmental benefits. The findings suggest that wood apple fruit gum presents a viable option for artists seeking sustainable materials in lithography.
