Tetrapak printing workshop with Karen Howse

 Enjoy experimenting with Tetra Pak printing. Join artist-wanderer Karen Howse for an introduction to this fun, low-tech and eco-friendly printing method. Create printing plates by etching onto drinks cartons, and use them to make interesting relief or intaglio prints with the roller press. A chance to learn through making and get inky!

Please note: we recommend wearing old clothes and bringing an apron as it can get messy.
