10:00 - 16:00

Level: Beginner

The excitement of peeling back your paper to reveal your print, never fades! In this workshop we will be exploring two related forms of intaglio printmaking: drypoint and tetrapak! We will explore various ways to make marks, create texture and patterns, whilst also learning about tonal values in printmaking. We will start with creating a drypoint plate, carving designs in, and then learning how to ink it up and create a beautiful print. Then we will move onto using tetrapak to create diverse and richly tonal prints - a wonderful way to use materials we have around us everyday! You will have at least 2 different designs and prints to take home with you.

What to bring:

• Apron

• Folder or glossy mag to take their prints home in

• Reference images to use in the workshop (max size to fit onto an A5 plate)

• Washed and opened tetrapaks if they have any, but NOT ESSENTIAL!!

• Kitchen roll

• A packed lunch
