Jumpstart Series: Printmaking with Tetrapak

$95.00

Instructors: Susan Martin + Pam Van Dyk

Sunday, January 24th, 2027 / 11am-5pm

In this one day workshop we will utilize the packaging material Tetra Pak to make unique shaped prints. Often used to package soups, stocks and other shelf stable liquids, Tetra Pak also makes an eco and budget friendly printing plate. After an introduction to the technique with printed samples and demo plates, students will receive material and create their own plates. We’ll use the second part of the day to explore inking and printing these plates on a traditional etching press. If time permits we will discuss options for adding monotype additions. Open to artists of all levels!

No experience necessary. All materials included:

  1. Tetrapak plate making material.

  2. One sheet of 22inx30in Hahnemuhle Copperplate paper

  3. All printing supplies (ink, tarlatan, etc.)

Additional paper can be bought if desired. Students can either bring a sketch to work from, work abstractly or use an image we have on hand to explore the medium.

This workshop will take place at Triangle Printmakers Collective: 1002 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27604

Participants will receive an email about a week out with more details regarding parking, directions, and details about the day.

Skill Level: All levels

Participants: Ages 18+
