Discover the magic of printmaking with an unexpected material, Tetrapak! In this hands-on three-hour London printing workshop, you’ll learn how to design, carve, and ink recycled Tetrapak cartons to create a unique series of prints.
You’ll be introduced to collagraph printmaking using Tetrapak (a type of drypoint etching), and guided through:
  • How to prepare and carve Tetrapak plates
  • Creating tone and texture
  • Designing modular image components
  • Planning compositions
  • Inking, wiping and printing using a printing press
Expect a relaxed and experimental session in a small group setting, so there’s time for 1:1 help and no waiting around at the press.
This is a brilliant introduction to sustainable printmaking techniques and a fun way to explore storytelling, composition, and visual rhythm.
At Something Good Workshops, we have a licensed bar that's always open during workshops. Whether it's tea, coffee, nibbles or a good glass of wine or cold cocktail, we've got you covered!

Thoroughly enjoyed learning about tetrapak printing, its flexibilities, limitations and how to get the most from it. Always love a bit of recycling!
  • 5/5 from Shirley, attended Jan 2026: I chose this because I was looking for an printing method that would allow to easily use recycled materials. At the Something Good Workshop I learned how easy it was to use Tetra-Pak packaging as a printing plate. The teaching was fun and informal, and I learned a lot. The venue had a lovely relaxing atmosphere, and all materials were supplied, with plenty of refreshments on hand. I loved the entire experience, especially learning something new that I can easily do at home in my own time. I loved this course and would do it again and again.

Hi, we’re Emily and Jess, the creative minds behind Something Good Workshops!
Our journey began in 2019 when Emily launched Something Good Workshops (originally known as MADEptford) as a way to spread crafty joy and raise funds for running the London Marathon. What started as a one-time idea quickly grew into a passion for bringing people together through creativity. Since then, we’ve hosted a wide variety of workshops, from arm knitting to body casting, in all kinds of spaces - corporate offices, cosy pubs, pop-up shops, and even people’s homes.
After taking a short break, we’re back with fresh energy and an exciting new partnership. Jess has joined the team, and together, we’re on a mission to spark joy and empower people to explore their creativity in relaxing, welcoming spaces. We believe there’s something magical about slowing down, working with your hands, and leaving with something you’ve made yourself - whether it’s a chunky knit blanket, a personal shrine, or a collage bursting with personality.
What makes us unique? We’re all about creating an environment where people feel at ease, whether they’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker. Over the years, we’ve held workshops in so many different settings, and one thing always stands out: the joy people feel when they realize just how creative they can be.
We’re not just here to teach a craft - we’re here to help you unwind, have fun, and leave with a tangible reminder that you’re capable of making something good.
We can’t wait to meet you at a workshop soon!
