Class Description:
The first day we will explore a wonderful material - tetrapack that is the inside of a soup or orange juice carton! The carton, flattened out, can be easily etched with a sharp object , inked, and printed with non-toxic inks on our small etching press. Shaping the plate and making it into a larger collage print are options to be explored.
The second day, students will use discarded styrofoam containers, cut them into plates, incise the plate with a sharp object and then roll ink over the surface. No press is required for this. Other found objects such as old CDs, plastic forks and empty cup can result in exciting prints.
Age group: 13 and up, drawing skills are encouraged but not necessary.
Number of participants: 6
Cost: Price for both sessions is $180. Supplies are included in the price.
If you wish to take only one: $100
