Tiny Tetra Pak Printmaking with Monica Lee
About this Event
Workshop Location: SCRAP, 141 Industrial St #1, San Francisco
Workshop Description
Using recycled Tetra Pak (foil-lined) cartons, Monica will teach you how to prepare, then carve and etch the foil surface, transforming an everyday object into a printing plate. This class will emphasize making tiny prints to relieve creative pressure, and focus on material exploration. Monica will explain the difference between intaglio and relief methods of printmaking, and teach a variety of carving methods. You'll leave the class with handmade mini prints and upcycled printing plates!
No printing experience required and all materials will be provided!
