What is TetraPak? It's packaging from cartons and can be cleaned and flattened to make the perfect printmaking plate.

What is TetraPak printmaking? This is a form of intaglio printing similar to Drypoint, but using recycled materials to create gorgeous and unusual prints.

You'll be able to create a range of tones and line work to bring your image to life! You'll also learn how to use a printing press.

This workshop is suitable for adults and those aged 16 years +. You're welcome to bring along your own designs and sketches, however this is not essential.
