Printmaking with Recycled Materials with Nina Muys - 2 Sessions (January 9th, 10th) on Friday, Saturday Friday , January 09, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. to 03:00 p.m. Saturday , January 10, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. to 03:00 p.m. Location: Washington Printmakers Gallery, 1675 Wisconsin Avenue Northwest Washington, DC 20007 Class Description: The first day we will explore a wonderful material - tetrapack that is the inside of a soup or orange juice carton! The carton, flattened out, can be easily etched with a sharp object , inked, and printed with non-toxic inks on our small etching press. Shaping the plate and making it into a larger collage print are options to be explored. The second day, students will use discarded styrofoam containers, cut them into plates, incise the plate with a sharp object and then roll ink over the surface. No press is required for this. Other found objects such as old CDs, plastic forks and empty cup can result in exciting prints. Age group: 13 and
