Rush hour in Blackwater

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

The old screen exposure box is now so popular with the chickens we have a queue. Nearly all the old laying spots have been ditched, this really is the new place to be seen sitting.

This is not a guided tour

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

The BBC have created and extraordinary programme with blood sweat and T shirts I never expected the BBC to throw young people quite so deeply into the true experience, and it is looking like this is just the start, a gentle introduction to the realities of the Indian cotton belt. We are getting six very […]

blood sweat and T shirts

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Blood sweat and t shirts will be on our TV screens on 22nd April at 9pm on BBC3. From the bits and pieces we have managed to glimpse so far it looks like it could be a very interesting programme. How much thought do we give to the origins of our clothing? Very little I […]

Surftwisted Indo

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Well it has been a while now, the surf twisted Indo trip is in full swing. The word is Tony Plant and the crew have “eaten like kings and done lots of diving”. They are now heading off to a different location in search of some waves and surfers, to take some photos, do a […]

Transatlantic Row

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Another attempt is being made by Andy Clark to row the North Atlantic, this time accompanied by Pete Lumley a photographer from Mousehole. This is hopefully third time lucky for the sevenoaks Atlantic challenge, which has not been so lucky on previous attempts. The two rowers are planning a quiet send off from New York, […]

Trends

Monday, April 14th, 2008

It never ceases to amaze me. Peoples tendency to act in unison, independently of each other, how does it happen? Not only that there are certain days which we are busy with enquiries, but that the enquiries follow a particular trend. It is easy to understand why a cafe might be busier around lunchtime, and […]

Water based inks

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

We are presently sampling a new range of waterbased inks, we are always looking for the ink that does everything, the ink that uses no solvents or plastics, no hazard signs on the tin. It seems that the UK and America committed almost entirely to plastic inks and their developement in recent times. It looks […]

Sunshine

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

One of the things we love about T shirt printing in Cornwall is having the beach close to hand, especially on days like this, this winter seems to have gone on forever, but finally we have a couple of days where you can actually find a spot in the sunshine and be warmed by it. […]

Mixing it up

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Every now and then a design turns up which has some elements suited to screen printing, but other elements which require a cad cut vinyl method. It does not happen very often, but when it does it is very hard to choose between the two.  The solution for the  Black Dogs was to mix them […]

Blackwater Studios

Joining Tony’s work this year will be paintings by Lucy Brown. Lucy’s large pastel […]

The London Marathon

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

The London marathon presents us with a frantic fortnight of very small orders, personalised vests and t shirts are in demand, and the deadline is getting tighter. We print away and wonder why people put themselves through such a painful and strenuous experience? What is it that makes this pass time so popular? A fantastic […]
