About the workshop
Your tutor will show you playful and spontaneous ways of making your own prints from used drinks cartons and other recycled household materials, such as fabric, aluminium foil, and cardboard. You will spend the morning learning how to cut, tear, peel and score Tetrapak from repurposed drinks cartons to create exciting imagery, then ink and print it using a professional etching press. In the afternoon, you will create colourful textured prints using other household scrap materials such as fabric, aluminium foil, cardboard, plastic nets and bubble wrap. You can also combine Tetrapak with other recycled materials to create your print.
Suitable for both newcomers to printmaking and experienced printmakers who want to try fresh and innovative methods.
