“This guided session in our hidden screen print studio - The People's Printshop - will gently introduce you to the art of screen printing. We'll provide a selection of screens ready to print radical imagery, slogans, and lettering to spell out your own message, and take you through the process of printing them onto a tote bag*, ready to take away at the end of the session.”

“The synare was a staple in a lot of post punk, dub and disco production in the 70s through the 80s. You can hear it in loads of tunes by Joy Division, Scientist, The Cure, Depeche Mode, the iconic Jah Shaka sound system scene in the film Babylon(1980) and a tonne of disco tunes too. Once you start noticing the Synare hits you won’t stop finding them. Legend has it you could pick it up in 70s Argos for cheap. And now the original synares are selling for nearly £800.”
