You can learn how to make unique drypoint etching plates using tetra packs such as milk cartons for printing.
Using images from your collection of collage material (magazine photos etc) you will trace an image onto the tetra pack plate using transfer paper, then with a drypoint needle scratch in the traced lines which will hold the etching ink for printing.
Water-based ink will be applied to the plate using a small-diameter paint roller. Excess ink is wiped off using polyester fabric.
Printing will be done on the etching press. At the end of the workshop, all materials will be washed with water for future use.
You need to bring some recycled tetra packs, such as milk or juice cartons, old magazines, scissors, glue, masking paper, ballpoint pens, disposable gloves, aprons, printing paper.
