In this experimental and exploratory class, you will learn how to use tetrapak cartons (milk cartons) to make intaglio prints. With the tetrapak plates, we can make drypoint prints, a process where you use a tool to make lines and texture in the plate- anywhere you make a mark will print a line.
People with an interest in drawing, painting, and experimentation will do well here. This is a great place to start for beginners- advanced students can make more complicated or multi-plate prints.

Each class will begin with a demo and discussion around technique. Demos will be tailored to student interests.

If you can, please bring your own clean tetrapak cartons to use.

Session 1: check in with everyone and introductions/class expectations. Demo of tetrapak drypoint. There will be plenty of time to print! We’ll close with another check in to see about questions and things that may have come up.
Session 2: check in, answer questions. Demo and discussion.
Session 3: check in and answer questions. Demo and discussion. Conversation about combining plates to make one image. Printing time and check in at the end.
Session 4: check in and answer any questions. Further discussion about multi plate prints. Demo of chine colle if there is interest. Printing time, check in at the end. Group critique if there is interest.
