About the Event
Printing with a Pasta Machine — Christmas Edition is a two-hour hands-on introduction to drypoint printmaking using recycled Tetra Pak and a pasta maker as a small press.
You’ll be guided through the full process step by step: starting with a simple image or sketch, transferring it onto a small Tetra Pak plate, scratching the drawing into the surface with a drypoint tool, then inking and wiping the plate before running it through the pasta maker press.
During the workshop you’ll make one plate and print two original mini-prints. For this seasonal edition, you’ll also turn one of your prints into a Christmas card to take home. All tools and materials are provided.
Nothing is required to bring. If you already have a simple image or small sketch you’d like to work from, you’re welcome to bring it along. A selection of images will also be available if you prefer…
