Seriously! Chickens Keep Out

Just as expected I am finding it near impossible to make 10 minutes for the Blog, it seems the more things that happen that are worth writing about, the less time you have to write about it, and as blogging is all about whats happening today it seems a lot of interesting jobs will go by unrecorded, it could be time to introduce guest bloggers? Hijack someone from design or Admin… Taking a break from the T shirts for 1 second to catch up with the chickens, and it seems …

Climate Change

The Environment Agency “5 June 2008 is World Environment Day and across England and Wales we’ll focus on how we can all Stand-up to Climate Change.”
This day is to encourage people to adopt new routines in dealing with the seemingly inevitable, climate change. Adapting to the difficulties presented by a changing climate, and slowing down of the process.
“Such a daunting topic requires a fresh approach - and we’ve got that too - but you’ll have to wait and see what it is. All we can say for now is …

Students T shirts

As ever students leave you with very tight deadlines, the final big day for many students is here, and most will still be working on their projects with seconds left on the clock. We are seeing a much better understanding of the processes involved by students, and a more realistic take on what to expect in the way of costs. Maybe I have spoken too soon, next year could see us inundated with unreasonable requests, but this year was good, we enjoyed it.

Cornwall Air Ambulance

Don’t forget Cornwalls air ambulance will be at the Royal Cornwall Show on the weekend starting 5th June. You can support them in many ways, but obviously we are going to recommend their organic promotional T shirts. The latest print run has used a new opaque white water based ink, rather than the discharge system, it is proving incredibly flexible washes well and can be ironed, we are experiencing some ink curing/stiffening in the screens due to the warm weather, but not enough to warrant use of the retarder just …

Organic T shirt printing, the wash test

The most thoroughly road tested T shirt of my entire collection, this Surftwisted Organic T Shirt has been in and out of the washing so many times over the last 2 years it is now a very pretty pink colour, the water based print is pretty much as good as the day it was printed. I love these kind of T shirts, it has so many memories attached to it now it may have to be stored away somewhere safe, for revisiting sometime in the future.

Rush hour in Blackwater

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

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 different reactions from each of the group, the most interesting for me would be that of Richard, who thinks anyone can make it, if you put your mind to it anything is possible for anybody, …

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 would say. There is a lot of work being done to change these attitudes from within the industry itself, but it all comes at a price, if we want better conditions for the people who …
