Spring Taster Sessions- Tetra Pak Printing

Tetra Pak printing offers a hugely versatile introduction to intaglio and collagraph techniques whether you are a beginner or an experienced printmaker. Your plate (made from recycled juice, milk and soup cartons) is created by cutting, scoring and peeling the surface giving some fabulous effects when inked and wound through the press.

You will learn how to prepare the plate, techniques for inking up and how to use our beautiful Rochat press to print your plate.

It's a great opportunity to meet other creatives and learn something new.

What experience do I need?

This course is suitable for the beginner, however people who have tried collograph printing before maybe be particularly interested.

Do I need to bring anything?

Basic materials including inks and printmaking paper will be provided. Please save up some cartons to bring along. Ones with a silver lining work best, however any Tetra Pak will work fine. Don't worry if you cant get your hands on any - we will have a small stock here.

Wear something you don’t mind getting inky, or bring an apron - however there are some here to borrow too. No open toed shoes please!

Accessibility

Our aim is to bring printmaking to as many people as possible. By their nature, some printmaking processes involve an amount of physical effort. Seacourt Print Workshop is on street level, and is accessible through the front doors in a wheelchair. It is fully wheelchair accessible, larger than standard doors and disabled toilet facilities. We recognise that everybody’s accessibility needs may differ, therefore please email us at info@seacourt-ni.org.uk to discuss any concerns you may have before booking.
