Tetra pack print workshop with Diane from Workshop57 10-4.30
Tetra pack print workshop with Diane from Workshop57
The attached pdf shows a range of artist examples of Tetra pack prints - with links. These are almost all created with Tetra Pack - a couple (like the snowdrops are printed with thin card (which Diane will also bring with her - in case some would prefer not to have the crease marks. What's great is that they can all be printed not only on an etching press but also on a die craft machine (much much cheaper!) and also a pasta machine so this means gives much more flexibility for printing at home afterwards - she will bring all 3! (plus lots of gloves!)
Re the process - hopefully the attached images give a good idea - Tetra pack printing is a bit like a cross between drypoint printing and Collagraph printing. You transfer the image onto card - we will use tracing paper and carbon paper for this then cut / tear/ peel / score inro the card, then ink up and print - There is also the option of adding multi colours and an element of collage to them too.
Its great!
Diane will bring examples of her own on the day and do demos!
HAG will subsidise the cost, so this is much cheaper than attending a commercial workshop - cost is £20
Contact Rosemary to sign up.
