Tetra Pak printing

SUNDAY 5th APRIL 10am to 4pm £80 Join tutor and print-maker Anne Davison on this inspiring one-day workshop which will introduce you to Tetra Pak printing, a simple but effective intaglio printmaking technique, using recycled packaging. This workshop is great for those who love learning new creative techniques, or like the idea of reusing everyday materials; in this case juice or milk cartons. Students will learn to cut, score, and peel the carton's surface to make lines and tones, experimenting with techniques like layering colours. To print, you’ll use non-toxic, vegetable oil based inks that are washable with soap and water, and a professional etching press. This session is suitable for beginners, as well as those with some printmaking experience who would like to add to their skillset. The emphasis is very much on experimenting and having fun with this accessible technique. All materials are provided, just bring your enthusiasm and curiosity. You may like to bring a packed lunch, and an apron or old clothes. You’ll leave with your own handmade print plates, a set of original prints, and ideas for continuing the process at home or in your own studio. Tea and coffee is provided. There is a corner shop a short walk away, and parking at the weekend is easily available just outside. We're on the first floor with no lift.
