Good news! We have recently moved our studio into a chill old house on one of the most fun streets in Shanghai - Changle rd. Now we are going to start regular private workshops / tutorials, don't hesitate to book one here or at [email protected] if you are interested in getting your own artwork screen printed or learning basic screen exposure and printing technique!

New printing room.

Dark(screen exposure) room. The bright thing is our new custom-made stainless sink for washing screens, magical exposure machine is on the other side -it's too big to get through the dark room's door so we had to saw it into half then re-install it in the room.. huh!



First workshop day with fashion and textile designer Isabel -she's trying out print her 2-layer pattern design on a piece of black fabric.

Volcom x Emerging Chinese Artists screen printing workshop was a great event we did jointly with NeochaEDGE and SOURCE, this Beijing + Shanghai two-city workshop was the first live screen-printing event in China, we were more than happy and honored to bring the hand-print fun to creative crowds from both north and south sides of the country. The trip itself was quite like a band tour -although I've never toured with a band.. anyway, it was fun!

Didn't remember to update the videos and photos until today due to the hectic studio move, check em out no matter you were there or not. :)
