If you visit galleries in Australia and around the world, you will often see prints made by artists using engraved copper or zinc plates.
You can do this at home but with an easy hack – using tetramilk cartons or juice boxes!
In this workshop you will learn how to design an image for printmaking, engrave your milk box plate, ink it, and then make your own limited edition of prints.
