Discover the magic of printmaking with an unexpected material, Tetrapak! In this hands-on three-hour London printing workshop, you’ll learn how to design, carve, and ink recycled Tetrapak cartons to create a unique series of prints.
You’ll be introduced to collagraph printmaking using Tetrapak (a type of drypoint etching), and guided through:
How to prepare and carve Tetrapak plates
Creating tone and texture
Designing modular image components
Planning compositions
Inking, wiping and printing using a printing press
Expect a relaxed and experimental session in a small group setting, so there’s time for 1:1 help and no waiting around at the press.
This is a brilliant introduction to sustainable printmaking techniques and a fun way to explore storytelling, composition, and visual rhythm.
What you'll get
All Tetrapak, mountboard, inks, tools, paper and press access
Guidance on composition, carving and tonal inking
Ideas for continuing your Tetrapak experiments at home
