Stamp making

Printing in Okines Community Garden

Lately I have been working with groups in the beautiful Okines Community Garden

First we had Screen printing a t-shirt day with 8 super keen kids making some great t-shirt designs with direct to screen painting and blocking out methods. It was a bit of a dream of mine to have an outside workshop when the sun is shining and being partly under cover, whilst drying things in the sun and washing out on the lawn.

On another day we did some stamp making with both an after school kids group and then in the evening the same with some adults.
