NEW FOR 2025!!
Learn how to create beautiful handprinted birds from re-purposed TetraPak drink cartons under the guidance and tuition of artist and printmaker Emily Brooks. A new and exciting course for this year which is suitable for both beginners and those with experience, this one-day workshop will give you the skills and confidence to continue printmaking at home.
A tradition printmaking method adapted for our age. We will provide a relaxed and nurturing atmosphere, and you will get the opportunity to work at your own pace. Our tutor will be on hand to guide you along, whatever your level of experience - even people who say they cannot draw create beautiful prints.
We will provide a selection of pre-prepared images to work from, although if you’d like to bring an image your own favourite bird along, a small black and white printout would be helpful. We will be limited by the size of the re-used drink cartons.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have printed one or more birds onto soft textured paper. Unique artworks to take home to be cherished forever.
The course will cover:
- An introduction to drypoint TetraPak printing (or a refresher if you’ve done it before)
- Creating and printing a sampler to gain confidence with carving tools and try different
mark-making techniques.
- Developing your final design, with support if needed.
- Transferring the design onto a piece of carton and scraping.
- Ink rolling, rubbing techniques and hand-printing using specialist printing inks.
- Advice and tuition will be on-hand at every step.
