Description

Next Promoted date: Friday 17th October 2025 Tetra Pak printing is an intaglio method of printing where marks are made into a plate (Tetra Pak) with an etching needle or small sections of the card are physically removed. Your plate will be inked using intaglio etching inks which will be brushed into the lower layer and the higher surface with be wiped clean to create highlights and mid tones. Plates will be run through a press with dampened or dry paper, enabling you to create a small edition of prints. It is a fun and expressive method of working. If you have previous experience of the process, there should be time to try Chin Colle with your prints. No previous printmaking experience is needed and this workshop will also suit printmakers looking to explore a new technique. We will be joined by artist and maker Liz Wellby, who lives and works on the edge of the Peak District in Derbyshire. With over 30 years experience teaching and tutoring, and a particular interest in sculpture and printing, Liz will guide and support you throughout the workshop. This workshop is suitable for a range of abilities and creative experiences. Please bring along: an apron, a pack of J cloths and your lunch.

What's included in the price?

The workshop will include: tuition, materials and use of equipment, plus light refreshments throughout the day; just bring your lunch.

Judith Horgan reviewed: Intaglio Printing with Tetra Paks (Art in the Barn)

"I have been on several workshops at Art in the barn. They have all been extremely well taught. Alison and Liz have the perfect combination of being available with helpful hints and reassurance whilst also letting you find your own way. All equipment is provided plus notes and suppliers contacts are provided for future reference. The barn is a joy to work in and the constant cups of tea, coffee and cakes are much appreciated. "

Blooming Designs - Art in the Barn responded:

"Hi Judith, Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your time with us in the Long Barn - it’s much appreciated. It’s always good fun working with you and we love your enthusiasm and positivity. You created a beautiful set of prints, whilst developing your skills and knowledge. The range of marks and tones you created were very successful. VBW Alison and Liz"

Steph Edwards reviewed: Intaglio Printing with Tetra Paks (Art in the Barn)

"This is a really interesting and fun course that anybody could have a go at, even if you don’t think you’re particularly artistic. Alison and Liz are lovely tutors, really kind and helpful, and the barn in the middle of the most beautiful countryside is a wonderful setting for a workshop. It was my second workshop at Art in the Barn and hopefully won’t be my last. "

Blooming Designs - Art in the Barn responded:

"Hi Steph, Good to hear from and thank you for your kind and thoughtful comments. It was lovely working with you again. You produced such a beautiful series of prints and really understood the potential of the process. The narrative of your work is beautiful. I hope you can continue exploring this technique. VBW Alison and Liz "
