Private View is almost here!I'll be selling off lots of samples and ex stock of lampshades and bases at greatly reduced prices.
Check some of my sale items in my shop here
And if you want to take your shopping home in a brand spanking new bag, you can come and print your own!
You do the design, the print and the clean up!
Welcome to children and adults of all ages, a fun little lesson in basic screen printing.
Costs £5 incl. bag!
Bring along a letter stencil (use A4 photocopy/print paper or similar) No bigger than 18cm square. Limited space, time and bags, so it's first come first served!
Saturday/Sunday only. I don't think I could cope on the PV night!
I'm carrying this on from my last workshop at the nursery, going back to bags as it's easier than all the sizing issues.
For the nursery I picked T Shirts to make a change, having done bags the last few times. As the holiday workshops are a free for all, with no preparation and kids wanting instant results, I decided to try out letters, keeping it simple for those that found it difficult to grasp, but creative enough for others who could just go for it. I also wanted to draw in some of the other kids that had not been interested in the past.
Based on my ABC print I made screens with little borders to frame the letters and it was then down to them to fill the box with a simple initial.
Bring along a letter stencil (use A4 photocopy/print paper or similar) No bigger than 18cm square. No need to do the border, just a cut out of your initial and we are away!
If you'd prefer a Tee Shirt, bring your own and we can print on that instead.
Arrive totally unprepared but want to have a go? Yes you can!

I did wonder whether I'd stifled their creativity a bit by providing a framework, but it was an interesting experiment and seemed to go down very well. I don't think the end results were as exciting as the previous workshops, in photographic form anyway, having said that, the kids were really excited about what they had achieved and then to be able to wear their own work was a big bonus.
We rattled off loads and it was really nice to see them all parading about in them at the end of the day.The age range at holiday club is from 3 to 11 so it's quite a challenge to keep everyone happy.
I've really enjoyed these workshops as Stanley has gone through the nursery. It's a wonderful place and really inspiring. It's also made me appreciate the care that goes into making a creative and happy nursery setting. I'm feeling rather sad that soon he will leave and we'll be entering the big league of School!
Following that, I had a bit of fun making a cushion for my nephew's first birthday. More for the shop soon, hopefully.Anyway, pop down to the studios at the weekend and try a bit of printing and personalising for yourself!
