Tetra Pak Printing
2026-02-22 10:00 - 12:00
Explore an exciting, eco-friendly form of printmaking in this Tetra Pak Printing class! Using recycled Tetra Pak cartons (like juice or milk containers), you’ll create a unique printing plate by drawing, carving, and building texture into the surface. Then we’ll ink it up and print to reveal beautifully detailed prints.
This process is perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike—playful, experimental, and full of surprises. You’ll leave with multiple original prints and a new technique you can continue using at home.
No printmaking experience required—just come ready to create! All supplies are included.
Instructor–Jami Lopeman

Junk Journals: Found, Layered & Full of Story
Junk journals are creative, handmade books created from found, recycled, and meaningful materials—old papers, fabric scraps, ephemera, packaging, and unexpected treasures. More than a journal, they’re a space for experimentation, storytelling, reflection, and play. In this class, you’ll explore layering, texture, collage, and simple binding techniques while giving new life to discarded materials. No rules, no perfection—just curiosity, creativity, and the joy of making something beautifully personal.
