Using recycled Tetra Pak packaging we will explore this emerging thrifty way of printing. Tetra Pak is the packaging for drinks and foods like Oat Milk and passata. We just draw straight onto the surface using a dry point with sharp pointed tools.
All materials provided but would be great if you could bring your own recycled Tetra Pak - just rinse them out before.
Schedule for the evening
18:00-18:30
Short tour of the studio,
Introductions and discuss the plan for the afternoon talking about the history of printmaking and looking at examples of tetra pak printing and collography
Talk over the process
18:30-19:30
Demos, cutting tetra pak and practicing techniques
19:30-20:30
Printing editions and tiding
What to bring with you
Cleaned Tetra Pak if you have any (oat milk and passata come in tetra pak) but we will provide lots as well.
Clothesthat you don’t mind getting ink on. Although we will be using water based inks and we have aprons, it’s best to wear clothes that are not precious.
Ideas - Please bring with you an image or art work you would like to use as inspiration or to transfer to your tetra pak. If you don’t bring an idea or inspiration for your print don’t worry because we have lots of inspirational books and ideas we use as tools for developing an image. But as we have a lot to fit in on the day, it can help to bring along a pre conceived image to make into a print.
Packed lunch - Tea and coffee is provided. Bring your own packed lunch or eat at one of the independent local cafes and bakeries.
What you’ll leave with at the end of the day
A little booklet of the process including key words and techniques
Edition(s) of your print
