Create your own botanical print using recycled Tetrapak, inspired by the plants, seed heads and textures of the Garden at the Autumn Equinox.
About the event
Mark the changing season with a full-day botanical printmaking workshop led by illustrator and printmaker Emma Bond.
Begin outdoors with observational drawing, taking inspiration from the seed heads, dried stems and late-season plants found around the Garden.
Back in the studio, transform your drawings into a Tetrapak printing plate and learn techniques including etching, mark-making, colour mixing, ink application and printing with a press.
By the end of the day, you’ll have created your own hand-printed artwork inspired by the colours, forms and textures of early autumn. No previous printmaking experience is required
