Event Description
Join Amy, pick up your recycling, and create something unexpected! Tetrapak enables the artist to cut, score, peel and print, creating unique artworks from recycling waste. Using a juice, milk, soup or custard carton, you can play with the process of drypoint - a fine art intaglio print technique - using low cost, immediate materials. The idea is to scratch a drawing into the silver-side of the tetrapak, apply ink, clean the ink so that it just stays in the areas you have scratched and then print. (You will need to work within the confines of your paper size, so the tetrapak will have to be cut smaller than your design).

We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!
