Join artist and educator Emma Henderson for a relaxed two-hour workshop exploring an accessible, DIY approach to intaglio printmaking using recycled Tetra Pak cartons and a pasta machine turned printing press.

Traditionally, intaglio printmaking relies on specialist studio equipment and heavy presses, but this workshop offers a simple, low-tech alternative that can easily be recreated at home. Participants will learn how to cut, draw, and create texture on recycled cartons before inking and printing their designs using a hand-cranked 'kitchen press.'

Please bring any empty Tetra Pack cartons if you have any but otherwise all materials are provided. 

This free workshop is designed for children and their accompanying families or carers. 

Adults without accompanying children are invited to attend the workshop in the morning..

If you have questions about workshop accessibility, please get in touch with Emma Henderson (Curator of Engagement).

Support

Cove Park is a charity and most of our funding for our residencies and engagement workshops is paid by trusts, foundations and individual donors. Creative Scotland currently funds just 29% of our annual costs and individual philanthropy is essential to sustain our work.

Our Saturday Studio programme provides an inspiring environment for self-expression through creative education. Without this engagement initiative, young people in our rural community would not have access to free and consistent creative activity. If you would like to help underwrite the costs required to keep our engagement workshops free and open, you can join our Friends of Cove Park programme or make a donation when booking.
