Everything about Shanghai

Summer 2012, we were happily invited by G-SHOCK to host a series of live screen printing tours in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai - four metropolises in China. It's the first time that we get to do multi-city live printing art performance and we were overwhelmed by the great enthusiasm of the crowd. Thank you all who has tried to pull a shirt or an art print, we hope you enjoyed the fun of handpulling and that we can do this again soon!

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. :)

“This Friday, we’re bringing together a group of our favorite Chinese creatives and teaming up Qrazy to raise money for Western China. At the event, called “Spongies,” creative works will be auctioned off from local fashion designers, photographers, illustrators, product designers and other leading-edge Chinese creatives, including Kim Kiroic, Nini Sum, Xixi, Yan Wei, Liu Yiqing, Tang Ting, Tyakasha, Sop2099. All proceeds from the auctioned works will be donated to the One Foundation to provide disaster relief for Western China, an area severely affected by water shortage and most recently, the Yushu earthquake.

The fund-raising party is taking place April 23 at 10:pm at the DDM warehouse (750 West Huaihai Lu, Shanghai).

For more information on Spongies, call the hotline at 021-61416500.”

We are glad and honored to take part in this charity auction that hosted by Qrazy and NeochaEDGE, hope the 3 framed, signed and numbered art prints(also our favs) will help out －at least a little bit with the disaster area.

Hope to see you at DDM warehouse this Friday night!

First ever NeochaEDGE x IDLE BEATS Screen Printing Workshop in Shanghai!



We are so excited to announce this (maybe) First Ever live screen printing workshop in Shanghai! Under JUE festival, held by NeochaEDGE and IdleBeats.

Intro:
In this high-tech, digital age, we could all use a low-tech, analog way to express our creativity. Come to Neocha's studio on March 13 to learn the basics of screen printing from Nini Sum, founder of IDLE BEATS, a screen printing studio that creates original, handmade prints & t-shirts in limited editions. In this free, introductory workshop, you will learn about the history of screen printing, the process from start to finish as well as how to produce your own designs for print or T-shirts.
