Learn how to upcycle simple Tetra Paks (juice boxes and milk cartons) into beautiful, versatile printmaking plates. We will transform trash into prints using drypoint and other mark making techniques. Working with the layers of laminated beverage cartons, line, tone, and texture can be easily created.

In the first part of the workshop Anastasia will do a short introduction to concepts of mono print and monotype followed by a demo on 3 examples:


1. How to create patterns on your plate to then transfer to your paper by rolling one or two colours onto a plate.


2. How to use a mixture of watercolours and soap to paint an abstract or a landscape and then print an image on to paper.


3. How to do a two step mono print with a stencil. (Stencils can be flat found objects, like leaves and flowers)


After the demo, participants will choose a technique and create their own image!
