Things to do in Brighton and Hove: Tattoo your textiles! I went to the coolest new alternative print workshop by @studio_mink in Hove and screen printed my top! Such a cool skill to learn.
The next one is 18th April if you fancy it, you can book through the link in their bio 🖤
Studio MINK. ~ non committal ink.
Simultaneously offending tattoo artists & screen printers alike 🌝🫶🏻

Studio MINK.~ non committal ink.
⛔️ Blooper reel edition 🆘
Patience is a virtue > speaking on camera is hell on earth
Fortunately, what I lack in camera confidence I make up for in print experience. 15 years and still finding it magic ✨ chuffed to now be teaching these workshops with my own spin on it and see the glee it brings everyone else (& I promise not to dance at any point)

MINK. x Moda
We hosted a little print pop up at the Moda building right around the corner from the studio and it was v fun, a really nice evening.
The concept of MINK. was designed to work remotely as pop ups and it worked perfectly, so many perfect prints right from the first go.
Thanks for having us @livethemodalife and thank you @quaffwine for the local Sussex wine, the perfect print fuel.

Perfectly assisted by @design.chloportfolio
We’re open for @artistsopenhouses for the next three weekends ⚡️ come see the studio, squeeze Flea and ask any workshop questions you might have.
We’re in extra special company this weekend with the brilliant @brightontextiles selling textile pieces for their final year fundraiser too.
@inkspotpress & @post_creatives open all weekend @industrialhouse_hove
JUNE WORKSHOP ~ now live ⚡️
We’re open for @artistsopenhouses for the first three weekends of May so if your interest has been piqued by all the stunning content, you can come and check out the space and make sure it’s not all AI bots.
A Thursday evening workshop this time so I stop getting berated by the weekend workers. The evening light in the workshop is the best, and it’s more of an acceptable time to enjoy a glass of wine, so win win.

The April workshop summary~ most people start the workshops having no idea of what a ‘screen’ is or how screen printing works and it astonishes me every time how well everyone picks it up.
It’s a joy to teach and watch people fall in love with a magical process that’s shaped my career. So joyful, I absolutely forget to take photos of all the great things people make 😬
[& please always send me your post MINK. garments enjoying their new and improved life]
Next workshop date dropping later 🫶🏻
We’ll also be hosting a drop in-pop up at @livethemodalife Hove Wednesday evening, so if that’s you then drop by, drink a glass of something local and see what we’re about

Sailors’ swallows meets classic sweatshirt 🤝
An enjoyable juxtaposition.

‘ TATTOO YOUR TEXTILES ‘ a concept born out of a resistance for endless ‘newness’.
2.9 tonnes of textiles are sent to landfill every second around the world. A whole bin lorry, every second. Most things on average are only worn as little as 7 times. So instead of buying new- upcycle the things you already have in to things you really love with bespoke prints.
A simple idea that makes a huge difference to how we respect our clothes, longevity is key 🔑
Looks great, very fun to do and you can feel very eco-smug telling everyone about it when the compliments pour in. Way less painful than tattooing your skin, too.
