Join us for an eco-friendly craft session!

In this low impact craft workshop we will create art from rubbish by using tetrapak packaging to make intaglio prints. This is done by pressing and carving into the inside surface of the tetrapak, coating it in ink and running it through a printing press.

If you have additional tetrapaks please bring them, examples include milk and juice cartons. No experience is needed, just enthusiasm and willingness to learn!

Tea and Coffee will be available to purchase on the day for 50p a cup. This workshop is for staff, students and the wider Glagsow community!
