Screen Print
Chunghie Lee
17/10/11 16:53
Whilst still installing at the Knitting & Stitching Show, the exhibit that really caught my inspiration was The Patched Pojagi by Korean Fibre Artist, Chunghie Lee. Chunghie uses Korean wrapping silks called Pojagi which she sews together in intricate and delicate patchworks of colour, as wall hangings and kimono like garments. Some of her pieces had repeated screen printed figures shown on them, which reminded me of some work I had explored during my Textile Art degree, although Chunghie’s held more substance and a professional finish, still it was really interesting to see how some lines/threads of visual/craft exploration ring through in both our work, although I had not heard of her before. As other exhibits also needed installing before the opening of the show, we were running around juggling to finish, all hands on deck, but I’m really pleased I got left to help tweak and finalise the hanging of Chunghie’s work. Again I’m sorry that I haven’t yet got a new decent camera and that my photographs here, do not do justice to her textiles. Have a look at her website for a better overview and images.

I received a lovely email the other day “Dear Sara, I am crazy about some of the cat prints you have and would really like to buy some prints to frame...” With this request, I have restocked my folksy shop page with some of my screen prints. Please go have a look, ♥♥♥ some of my items and perhaps make a purchase too! New prints to come soon!

Seaside Bank Holiday

A lazy Easter Sunday soaking up this fantastically early summer sun on the beach was broken up by an Easter bonnet parade. This one made by Robyn was my favourite. She very kindly let me take a photo of it to share here with you. Following this, was a mob of bright pink marjorettes showing off their routine to some pumping dance music. It actually made my day, and got me back into some photography.
I also picked up a little instruction booklet from 1936 with this beautiful screen printed cover.
ELLE magazine

In the latest issue (November 2010) of ELLE magazine, you will find one of my cat prints illustrating a feature about Print Club. This has been a lovely surprise, as I had no idea my work would be included! If you have been in touch with me about buying a print online, please bare with me and I will get back to you shortly!
We Are Your Friends.

“Everybody, everybody in the (Art) House of Love”. I’ve got this song stuck in my head by East 17. Its probably because I’ve recently been asked to take part in a group exhibition “We Are Your Friends” at the E17 Art House as part of the Walthamstow Art Trail over the first weeks of September. I will be showing a selection of screen prints of friendly characters along side other interesting print makers...
Bloggers Blagged and bagged a Banquet!

Susie is one of my ladies who attends my crochet class at Hornsey Library. She has been involved with putting on an event with a bunch of food bloggers called Blaggers Banquet, and even blagged me into screen printing up a whole bunch of tote bags to give away as their guest’s goodie bags!

On Sundays, get yourself down to the Back Yard Market, off Brick Lane, where you will find the Print Monger, the stall for Print Club. You may also occasionally see me down there running the stall with some of my own prints!
How much is that kitty in the window?
25/06/09 17:33
I have recently entered the world of Olive Loves Alfie, a lovely boutique on Church Street, in Stoke Newington. It has everything I could wish for, bright vibrant colours, patterns, stunning design and japanese influences and a sense of magic in the clothing, accessories, toys, prints and products. Only thing is, its meant to be for little children, and I keep forgetting that at age 30, I am now supposed to be a grown up, and can’t fit into those cute tiny t-shirts! To my fortune, owner ( and former Red Or Dead shoe designer), Ashlyn Gibson spotted me wearing one of my felt cats in her boutique and thought they would be perfect to sell in her shop! My felt printed cats now hang in the window, waiting for small (and big) children to take them home...
Budgies for the love birds
05/05/09 21:37
An old friend from my art school days, got married at the weekend. It was a lovely barn wedding full of bunting, dancing, casks of ale, and plenty of food for us campers on the farm! Emma and Terry asked on the invite for presents, if any, to be handmade, so I screen printed them a pair of budgies.
A Little Bazaar...
24/04/09 08:51
Last night I took my hand screen printed felt cats on their first outing, down to The Albany, in Deptford for A Little Bazaar. I shared a stall with two lovely and creative ladies Parusha & Anita, and together we had a wealth of vintage, design and hand made craft on our table! We had lots of fun dancing about to a great DJ set, ate glitter cupcakes from the next stall, and tested punters on their bartering skills! My cats had a fair amount of interest, so I thought it was time to share them with you! If you would like to buy one, please email me!
Thank you Parusha & Anita and A Little Bazaar for a fun evening. x
