Screen Printing


After travelling for nearly 6 hours, seeing the Indigo project and Action Bag project (where they make all sorts of lovely bags), the boys were exhausted and had had enough. But when they saw the screen printing, they all perked up. They definetly share their father's interests! The cloth drying in the above picture, will be made into bags by women at Action Bag.


Here are some of the producers in their little stations, working tirelessly to screen print either cloth or paper. They had a little show room full of beautiful greeting cards. The woman below is working on trees to be used in Christmas cards. Riley kept wanting to go back to the room where they mixed the colors. I could tell he would have loved to get his hands in the bowls of thick gooey globs of paint. We had to drag the boys and Austin away from there.

We visited yet another project and saw some crocheted hand bags and scarves, then we went to a hotel and freshened up before going to the home of one of the directors for dinner. We all sort of fell into bed that night. All in all it had been a very full but interesting day.
