Tetra Pak Printmaking - one day Workshop with Jenny McCabe.

Description

Join artist and tutor Jenny McCabe for a fun and inspiring one-day workshop exploring printmaking with recycled materials. Using everyday Tetra Pak cartons (from juice or milk), you’ll learn how to transform this simple packaging into beautiful intaglio-style printing plates.

Throughout the day, you’ll experiment with cutting, peeling, and drawing into the surface of the carton to create texture and tone, before inking and printing your plates using professional printmaking techniques. Expect plenty of hands-on creativity, expert guidance, and the chance to see just how versatile these recycled materials can be.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some printmaking experience who want to try something new. All materials are provided, just bring your enthusiasm and curiosity. You’ll leave with your own handmade plates, a set of original prints, and ideas for continuing the process at home or in your own studio.
