- Thursday 26 November
- 7-9pm
- Burgh Yard - Helensburgh
Join me for a relaxed two-hour workshop exploring an accessible, DIY approach to printing Christmas cards using recycled Tetra Pak cartons and a pasta machine turned printing press. The ultimate kitchen table print studio!
With Christmas tunes on and a warm drink in your hand you'll learn how to cut, draw, and create texture on recycled cartons before inking and printing your designs using a hand-cranked ‘kitchen press.’
You'll take home:
Your printing blocks and multiple Christmas cards ready to send. Make a batch of one design or experiment with multiple images.
What to wear:
We'll be using inks so you might get a little messy, please don't wear anything you don’t mind getting a little inky. And wrap up, the Burgh Yard can be a little chilly in the winter.
Who is this workshop for:
This workshop is for adults and children aged 12+. Children must be accompanied by their parent or carer.
