SUMMARY:Beginning Printmaking with Recycled Tetra Pak
DESCRIPTION:Learn to make prints on a craft press using recycled food packaging. \nIn this 3-hour beginner-friendly workshop we will create easy and expressive art prints using recycled Tetra Pak as our printing plates. What in the world is Tetra Pak? It’s the food packaging material used to make cartons for broth\, oat milk\, soups and more. Come see why printing with Tetra Pak has become such a popular form of printmaking. Each student will learn how to “draw” designs onto their plates then hand print them on a portable craft press using non-toxic inks. The results can be surprisingly magical! Each student will take home 2-3 completed prints. \n\nTurn recycled Tetra Pak boxes into fast and fun printing plates.\nLearn all the basics of how to properly prepare the paper\, mark and ink up the plates\, align the plate correctly and print on a portable press.\nLearn tips for creating more complex prints by using different plate wiping techniques\, adding spot color\, and layering multiple plates.\n\nAdditional workshop details \n\nMaterials and tools: All materials are provided with tools available for in-class use.\nCourse-provided materials include recycled food packaging (Tetra Pak)\, printmaking inks\, watercolor paper for up to 4 prints/cards\, and supplies for inking and wiping the printing plates.\nBasic tools such as etching needles\, X-acto knives\, scissors\, craft knives\, cutting mats\, and a Sizzix Big Shot Plus die-cutting machine as a printing press will be available for in-class use.\nParticipants are welcome to bring images up to 4×6 in. in size for use as inspiration.\nWear an apron or old clothes that you don’t mind getting inky.\n\nOpen to all skill levels. No prior printing experience required. Tools and materials will be provided. \nInstructor: Liz Schneiders \n
