Washing Line Effect: T-shirts left to dry.

On Thursday, our group met up early and decided to try and produce a logo for our intervention. Having spoken to the public and received a perfectly good idea.... and also in combination with the holiday programme 'wish you were here,'... we decided to combine a beachy theme with the city to play on the sort of postcard imagery.

Due to the help we had off Nell, we came up with a simple yet effective design for the t-shirts and began to screen print them.

We made stencils for the Beetham tower which were printed in grey first. The process took two people- one to hold down the wooden screen, and the other to press the paint onto the fabric with a 'squidgy.'

Having allowed time to let this dry, we then applied the second stencil in orange paint. This stencil was the silhouette of a beach umbrella and a bucket and spade, placed in the foreground.

Our finished t-shirts now look like this... :)

We are also considering ironing on the phrase 'wish you were here...' and may/may not do this at a later date :)

The t-shirts may give a clue as to what our final intervention might be.
