In this new course you will learn how to print in imaginative and creative ways by repurposing used Tetrapak cartons and other common household scrap materials – a playful and fun way for beginners to start printmaking. It is also an opportunity for more experienced printmakers to experiment with a free and expressive method, which breaks out beyond the confines of rectangular printing plates. The course will also enable students to make steps towards more sustainable printmaking. Throughout this course you will learn:
