Taster: Sustainable printmaking

In class one, get hands-on to draw your design, transfer it to a rubber block, carve, and print on recycled and upcycled paper using eco-friendly vegetable-based inks. 

In the second class you can learn how to make drypoint etchings using recycled milk cartons. You’ll take home everything you make, including the block, the etching plate and prints. Choose one new skill to explore, or book both workshops to learn both!

No prior experience is necessary, as our professional tutors will provide step-by-step guidance throughout each project.
