Snapped Up Dinosaur Christmas!!

Today has been the return of Snapped Up at the PrintHaus. Such a good day, it started off quite slow this morning but I guess people were just having a long lie in; don't blame them though I could really do with a relaxing morning in bed, I don't think it's gonna happen for a few weeks yet!!

I spent the day printing stockings with people and giving some tips. I love being able to skill share and these events are always a great way to introduce people to screen printing.

The design was just a big oblong on the screen, so I cut a paper stencil in the stocking shape which i taped to the back of the screen with parcel tape.



I also created a tshirt design which I donated to the PrintHaus to use. They always ask local designers to create a few designs for the day and this time had some great stuff from the likes of Phil Morgan, Ian Watson and Tom Kitchen some of the cream of the crop in Cardiff design in my opinion.





It's always a treat to see your design on a tshirt!!

I also had a stall selling a few bits and pieces selected from the shop.




I'm going to have a few more of the stockings for sale in the shop from Tuesday, so pop in and pick one up!!
