Printing with Tetra Pak cartons..This eco-friendly method repurposes cartons for artistic prints.
Using a sharp tool like an etching needle or a craft knife to score into the carton's surface, creates lines that will hold ink. The shiny, silver surface can be peeled away or scratched off to expose the brown card beneath, creating different tones. Ink is applied to the plate and wiped away from the surface so it remains only in the incised lines and textures. The plate is then pressed onto paper. A really easy way to create a plate to print and recycle too.
This workshop includes tea or coffee in the morning break and a two course lunch, supplied by the nursery cafe.
We will be running the session in the Glasshouse within the nursery starting at 10am and finishing approximately 3-4pm.
All materials will be provided.
