Something for the weekend?

If you're a bit of a trainspotter when it comes to print studios, brace yourself.

With the weekend almost upon us, the last thing we want to do is hit you with some heavy reading on the virtues of paper stencil screen printing. Instead, here's a pictorial tour of the printmaking department at LCC (aka the London College of Communications, part of UAL). Fortunately, we didn't have to break in...

Josie Molloy is one of fifteen artists featured in our launch collection – she's also a technician at LCC and kindly gave me a guided tour of the printing department a few weeks back. To find out about Josie's screen printing practice and see her first Look Up editions, click here: http://bit.ly/2ajWw7S

And now, over to the pics...
