Thanks to an alternative material, the tetra pak (in other words, milk cartons), you will discover a traditional technique that dates back to the Middle Ages: intaglio engraving.
Each participant is invited to come with a reference image, which they will transfer into an engraving.
Mathilde Payen, author and engraver, will guide you through the whole process: engraving, inking, wiping and finally printing.
The point of engraving being to reproduce an image, you will be invited to reproduce your engraving several times, in order to collectively build a pocket museum.
You will leave with all the knowledge needed to redo this workshop at home, in complete simplicity!
