Tetra Pak Printing with Clare Dales
The Workshop
Explore and experiment with TetraPak Printing. Taking an everyday object and recycle your packaging to create a lo-fi chemical free etching plate. We will learn how to transform Tetra Paks into printable intaglio plates by cutting, scoring, and peeling the surface to create images, lines, textures, and areas of tone. You will make use of the folds, marks, and shapes within the cartons to both inspire and become part of your finished prints. The press is used to print your designs on a range of papers and backgrounds.
This is a messy workshop, so please wear suitable clothing as the inks are oil based and permanent.
Includes Lunch and Materials
The Artist
Clare is a freelance designer and printmaker, a member of Lewes Printmakers, creating collaborative books and exhibitions. Clare has published several books, including Ponds Pools and Lidos, A Swim through Time, Eastbourne an Alphabet and Limited-Edition Artists Books, including Pier to Pier, The Egrets Way and Flow. Currently working on a Limited-Edition book on food and cooking, expected late 2023, Clare’s work is sought by private Reserve Collections in the UK and abroad.
Clare’s background in architecture inspires pieces from the built and natural form, drawing parallels between the two, to design unique works. Clare loves to create repeat patterns, used in illustrative work, home furnishings and bookbinding. With a desire to evolve and create, Clare’s more recent additions are printed greenhouses, with drawn natural forms. Using dipping pens and coloured pencils allows lustre and individuality. Inspiration is everywhere. Learning to swim aged 40 resulted in the most recent book, Ponds Pools & Lidos, richly illustrated with lino prints. She is now working on a limited-edition book on food and dining.
