Lino Printing
Mya is a 4th year student, with a huge passion for lino-printing, quirky designs and sustainability. She has her own Instagram page called shrimpyprints which you can check out here.
Mya is really excited to share her lino-printing skills, to teach others a really fun and accessible art form. Please bring only t-shirts or items of clothing you already own – if you don’t have anything, there will be free t-shirts to choose from (sourced from the St AndReuse store). Cotton is best. Lino-printing is fantastic for revamping ‘tired’ clothing, personalizing garments and covering up marks and stains. You can also make patches, which can then be used to cover holes and tears, or to make bunting with.
In this skillshare, you will:
💚Have a go at carving your own stamp out of lino
💚Choose from a selection of beautiful stamps made by Mya to use on your clothes
Adults: £6, Child: £4 (age: 10+) (we are paying Mya for her time to make stamps for this workshop). Card payments or cash taken at the event. Pre-booking essential.
Please note that all materials bought for this workshop have been source from two independently-owned companies – iartsupplies in Dundee and Cass Art (UK-wide).
(Re)Made in St Andrews?
‘(Re)Made in St Andrews’ is an initiative that promotes creativity, skills for life, mindfulness, community and environmentally-responsible slow fashion. As well as making ethical fashion accessible and affordable.
‘(Re)Made in St Andrews’ is exactly what it says on the tin: beautiful and unique, upcycled garments, made sustainably and locally in St Andrews, by YOU. It is an open source ‘brand’ that can be used by anyone who wants to get creative with their clothing and take a stand against fast fashion.
It is literally a stamp that you can print onto a garment, or can be printed on a patch and then stitched on. The stamp we have created will be available for anyone to use, if they would like to.
