Lo-fi versions of popular printmaking techniques using humble scrap packaging materials can achieve beautiful results on paper. Foil-lined Tetrapaks offer a good surface for drypoint drawings, and cereal packets can be cut into low relief printing plates for bolder shapes. Embossing is achieved quickly with a
textured collage of reclaimed packaging. Xtina Lamb will show you how to print these elements together or separately to experiment with a wide range of mark making.

What’s included / what should I bring?
All required materials, inks and papers will be supplied, and hot drinks will be available during the class.
