Prerequisites

No prior knowledge is required.

Objectives

The objective of this course is for you to learn the basics of Tetra Pak printing, create your own printed images with "plates" made from recycled packaging, explore different approaches and feel inspired to continue with graphic art.

Content

You will develop your own drawings into printable motifs, transfer them to cardboard plates (for example milk cartons) and carve them to create unique prints. You will learn to inking and printing on different types of paper, and produce finished prints on high-quality paper. There is time to explore different ways to vary lines, surfaces and techniques – building both technical skills and your own visual language.

Teaching method

Theory and practical reviews are alternated with supervision during ongoing work. The course is held in a small group (6-8 participants), with ample opportunity for personal supervision.

Materials

Bring your own pen, drawing pad and any image templates/sketches. Other basic materials for the basic elements are included. If needed, there is the possibility to purchase additional materials on site (paid with Swish).

Other

This course is held at the Folkuniversitet's premises at Liberagatan 42 on Lindholmen, where the KV Konstskola and the Ballet Academy (Balletakademin) are also located.
Old clothing is recommended, as the printing ink may cause stains.
The lunch break is 45 minutes. A participant kitchenette with a microwave is available for those who bring food.
This course is also available in Swedish. Look for Mjölkkartongtryck.

Beverley Hayes

"Jag älskar grafik för dess taktila process och känslan av att upptäcka något på nytt varje gång. Balansen mellan kontroll och slump gör varje tryck både genomarbetat och unikt. I mina kurser får du utforska och bekanta dig med olika trycktekniker, ibland med återvunnet material som ett enkelt och kostnadseffektivt sätt att skapa grafik, både för nybörjare och mer erfarna utövare."

In English:

"I love graphics for its tactile process and the feeling of discovering something new every time. The balance between control and chance makes each print both well-crafted and unique. In my courses you get to explore and become familiar with different printing techniques, sometimes with recycled materials as a simple and cost-effective way to create graphics, for both beginners and more experienced practitioners."
