Creative Printmaking with Fizzy Drinks
Tutor: Rachel Moore, print artist
Join Rachel for this playful, experimental printmaking session. Using Coca-Cola, Foil, and vegetable oil, you’ll explore a lithography-inspired printmaking process that uses chemistry and simple household materials to produce unique textures and rich tonal effects.
It’s a playful way to explore foil printmaking without traditional equipment, no prior experience needed.
