Learn the technique of printing with intaglio ink using recycled tetrapak cartons.

In this workshop you will use example images to create your own unique design/designs. If you have an idea in mind, please bring along any images which will inspire you (and others).

Using transfer paper you will transfer your drawn image onto the tetrapak before using a scribe to scratch it out. Learn how to manipulate the intaglio ink to produce different effects.

There will be a range of paper to experiment with, and you can make anything from little gift tags to an A3 print.The intaglio ink you will be using is a bit sticky, but I'll have wipes at the ready and there is a sink for hand washing at the end.·

You can trace photographs but this is tricky to get right and is perfect for an experienced crafter who likes a challenge!

Learn how to transfer designs onto the tetrapak ready for printing.· See how to apply the ink in various ways for different outcomes, and how to press it through the rolling press to realize your final results.· Learn about design composition and how to create an effective image.

Skill Level: This workshop is suitable for all abilities.

Cost: £40 per person.

*Please be aware that this workshop requires a bit of trial and error to get it right!

The Craft House was established in 2016 in Saltaire by April Chamberlain, who continues to manage the business. Having started in Saltaire, The Craft House is now run from new, larger, premises at 109-111 Main Street, Bingley. We have a lovely ground floor cafe and welcoming workshop spaces on the first floor (reached by stairs with two handrails). We offer a vibrant programme of art, craft and textile workshops and courses for adults, enabling you to develop existing skills as well as try new activities. Working closely with a team of talented artist/maker tutors, we provide expertly-run classes in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. We cater for a range of skill levels, from first-time participants to people with existing skills (including other professional artists and makers looking to develop their techniques). Our emphasis is on encouraging creativity and enjoyment whilst passing on key skills. We also cater for private parties and events - please telephone us or call into the cafe to discuss. Please note that all our events are subject to us achieving minimum booking requirements, as we need to ensure they are commercially viable for our tutors - if we have to cancel an event, we will refund your ticket and give you as much notice as possible.
