We are so very excited to welcome back Afroretro who have sent this to us to outline what they plan to do on the night.
Mono Print Your Life with AFRORETRO School of Uganglish
African Fabrics and textiles tell more than a story of just nights out and sashaying down the high street. These fabrics are full of messages of politics, aspiration, history and culture. We want you to bring YOUR politics, aspirations, history and culture and create your very own textile print.
What you will achieve;
You'll be guided through designing your fabric
Learn how to mono-print
Find out more about Uganglish
Print your story on fabric and paper so you can take home wonderful prints for your own personal gallery
What you will need to bring;
We will provide everything you will need but for a challenge and the sheer fun of it why not bring an old t-shirt to print your design on.
