Handmade & Handprinted Tropical T-Shirts




It's taken us a while but we've finally produced our first handmade and handprinted (full body) t-shirt!!!!Produced in our Manchester studio using English fine knitted jersey, handprinted all over in our handrawn tropical  design - think P-eye-napples and Palm (hand) trees.We would have had these online earlier but the first batch we made sold out straight away.Made to a similar pattern as our standard t-shirts but with longer body and sleeve length, they are truly Made in Britain.

Under The Town, is back for it's second year on Saturday 4th August at the Grundy Art Gallery from 3pm to 10pm.
This major event is organised by a group of 27 young people completing their Arts Award with Blackpool Arts Service and will form part of the Blaze summer programme of events. Under The Town will showcase an exciting line up of musical talent with ten bands and singer-songwriters from Blackpool and the North West playing sets of original music. Headline acts include The Colours and sets from DJ Ben Marshall and the Boom Bike Big Band.

It will also feature films, amazing visuals and fashion shows all created by the young festival producers with guidance from professional artists. The fashion shows and visuals will use special lighting techniques to create different atmospheres in each of the spaces, including a chill out den with fairy lights. The young people have produced the content for the festival in response to the Centenary of Blackpool Illuminations and the current exhibition at Grundy by major UK artist Brian Griffiths.
