Peckham Levels Open Studios June 8th-10th 2018

Peckham Levels is offering a unique opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes at its member studios. Visit the likes of Kiln Rooms, Bright Rooms, Brother Film Co, Gal-Dem and our own 3rd Rail Print Space. We invite you to join us as we host tote bag, paper and t-shirt printing drop in sessions through out the day. You will also have the chance to see what our members have been working on since we opened in January. You’ll be able to take part in live paper printing, paper cut screen printing, screen print you’re own Gal-dem t-shirt and make a cyanotype. We will be hosting workshops with artists Hello Ditto and Alex Poyner.

 

 

Hello Ditto

 

Emma Cooke, Hello Ditto

Emma started screen printing after completing one of our Intermediate Paper Printing courses. Inspired by the process she set up design brand Hello Ditto, a print project bringing new life and love into discarded found imagery. An exploration into the juxtaposition of type, colour and pattern with culture, travel, history, word and image using screen printing as the medium for the message. Hello Ditto repurposes postcards, books, photographs, maps, magazines and more – giving them a second chance to say hello. Emma will be live printing vintage postcards throughout Friday evening.

 

Gal-dem

 

Gal-dem

Gal-dem is a magazine (online and in print) and creative collective comprised of over 70 women and non-binary people of colour which launched in September 2015. Gal-dem provides a space for women of colour to not only discuss the issues they face as a result of their race or cultural differences but also the art they create, their political views and showcase their broad spectrum of talents and interests. On Saturday you’ll have the chance to print your own limited edition Gal-dem t-shirt designed by Gal-dem art director, Leyla Reynolds.
