What if I told you that a common packaging material you may already obtain on your grocery run makes for one of the most versatile printmaking substrates of all time?! Though the TetraPak’s controversial design will place most in landfills after a single use storing liquids like broth and milk, the container itself has become coveted by eco-centric artists worldwide because it’s lining contains a unique layering of materials that make an exquisite composite to render for printed artwork. TetraPak prints embody the characteristics of several printmaking mediums in one. They offer a rich quality of line, deep solid values, and an incredible amount of room for play. Please join me as I share various techniques I’ve established in my own practice, then tap into your own sensibilities with the chance to try your own hand at unlocking the treasure of this glorious reclaimed trash! $100- materials included
