Come and explore printmaking with an eco-conscious twist! Join us for ‘From Waste to Art’ at Flatford Mill.
Discover the creative potential of recycled materials in this hands-on eco-printmaking workshop, where you’ll learn to make prints using recycled Tetra Pak cartons (such as milk and juice boxes). Tetra Pak printing is a unique and sustainable form of printmaking that repurposes everyday packaging into textured, versatile printing plates. This ‘From Waste to Art’ workshop is suitable for beginners.
Tutor: Sue Bedford
Sue Bedford is an artist and art teacher. Originally from Surrey, she moved to the Essex/Suffolk boarders many years ago. It is here where she is inspired by the natural world and many of her works are closely observed form her surroundings.
She studied Surface Pattern Design in Somerset and later a degree in Design Studies from the University of East Anglia.
Sue started her career in art as a Textile Designer. She worked for many years in the fashion and the furnishing industry, creating surface patterns for fabrics. Her designs have been featured in many well-known stores for example Top Shop and M and S. After leaving college she worked for Portmeiron’s fashion company “Cara”. Her designs were worn by characters on 2 well known soap operas.
Many of these early influences have continued to inform her work and her strong sense of colour is evident in her work today.
