Cook up your very own etching print in this activation designed by artist Artek Halpern-Laurence of Huge Mumma Spice Merchant.

Print Kitchen is presented in the Great Hall for the duration of the Stallholder Fair. Playing with the connection between printmaking and food-making, participants will enter the studio-come-trattoria to create their own etching, watch it be ‘cooked’ by a team of chefs operating the giant spinning wheel of the onsite etching press; and with the ding of a bell, collect their very own print to take home and enjoy.
