Catch of the Day - A Tetrapak Printing Workshop

Messums Creatives, in continued partnership with the Seagull Theatre, invite you to a free tetra pak printmaking workshop. Inspired by the history of the postal trade - when fish once travelled by post well revive the tradition by sending fish (art) once again. Create a print to keep, and another to support future creative projects through sales that help sustain the ongoing work of both organisations. By signing up, participants agree to contribute work for fundraising and exhibition purposes.Tetrapak printing is a fun and easy to use print form that repurposes cartons and produces amazing effects direct from your drawings.
Using the insides of cartons, you will scratch out your drawing using an etching tool, cut out shapes or make textures with different tapes to create an original design.We will be focusing on the local fish caught in the area to create individual prints.
You will work from images of different fish, or even make up your own design.
Imagery can be traced onto the tetrapak to transfer your designs. You will create a number of prints in different colours and explore chine collee to make your design really stand out.Come make, print, post, and be part of the story.
