New for 2025 - Explore Tetra Pak Printing in Derbyshire

X

Description

Next promoted date: Saturday 15th February 2025 - 4 places available. Join artist and maker Liz Wellby on the edge of the Peak District, with an introduction to Tetra Pak Printing. Tetra Pak Printing is an intaglio method of printing where marks are made into a plate (a Tetra Pak) with an etching needle or small sections of the card are physically removed. Your plate will be inked using intaglio etching inks which will be brushed into the lower layer and the higher surface with be wiped clean to create highlights and mid tones. Plates will be run through a press with dampened paper, enabling you to create a small edition of prints. It is a fun and expressive method of working. No previous printmaking experience is needed and this workshop will also suit printmakers looking to explore a new technique. Liz will host the workshop at her studio - The Slipper Studio. The venue is beautifully presented, with handcrafted workbenches and a wood burner, with views down into the village.
