If you've ever looked at beautiful, atmospheric black and white prints framed in galleries and wished you could be an artist... well you're already half way there! You've recognised the beauty, looked at the detail, tried to work out how it was created and felt the urge to try it for yourself. From landscapes to portraits and everything in between, printmaking can bring atmosphere and texture to your vision. Think it's too expensive, too technical or too difficult? This is the workshop for you... This low-cost, accessible printmaking workshop will introduce you to the creative potential of recycled Tetra Pak cartons as an alternative printmaking surface. Using simple techniques adapted from drypoint and intaglio printmaking, you'll learn how to create original prints from this everyday waste material. Because of the nature of the material, Tetra Pak prints often feel expressive, textured, and organic rather than overly precise meaning you don't have to worry about perfection. The workshop is designed for mixed ability audiences aged 14+ (parental supervision required for under 16s) and encourages experimentation, creativity, and sustainability through hands-on making. You'll learn how to prepare and engrave Tetra Pak plates using basic tools, apply ink, and hand-print your designs using various methods. The only thing you really need to bring is your imagination, inspiration, and enthusiasm! If you would like your own Tetra Pak cartons, please make sure they are clean and dry and also note that the ink can stain so be sure to wear appropriate clothing!
