Net-Zero Press: Workshop

Duration: 6h30m
Dates: Tue 21 Oct 2025 10:30 - 16:00
Location: Meeting Room

Join Net-Zero Press for a workshop sharing stories from the print room floor. 

Across the day, eight printmakers will tell the story of one material they use, tracking its lifespan from acquisition through consumption and disposal. Materials covered will include madder root, juice cartons, origami screenprints, squid ink and algae. There will be opportunities for discussion throughout the workshop and the chance to take a tour of DCA Print Studio.

Tea and coffee will be provided.
