An eco-friendly, accessible printmaking technique (a form of drypoint) that uses washed, cut-up juice, milk, or broth cartons as printing plates. The interior plastic/silver coated carton surface is scored, scratched, and sometimes peeled to create lines that trap ink, which is then wiped, inked, and passed through a press or rubbed by hand with a baren to produce detailed, textured prints. This versatile method of printmaking allows artists to create intricate, sustainable art without expensive or hazardous materials. You will create multiple prints using intaglio inks. Multiple colors can be used simultaneously creating one of a kind monoprints each time you ink the plate. You will leave with multiple one of a kind rustic prints, and your tetra pak plate made from recycled cartons.
