Blood sweat & t-shirts✦ The low cost clothes from shops

such as Primark come at a high price for the young children toiling in the indian sweatshops.

✦ An investigation revealed that for 60p an hour children as young as 11 were working in squalid conditions, sewing tiny beads and sequins onto cheap t-shirts by candle-light.

✦ The revelations were highly embarrassing for a company that has always claimed it is possible to sell T-shirts for as little as £2 with out compromising its ethnics. t

Stencils & silkscreens

✦ Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas,

✦ I think that using a stencil is quite an easy way of printing a image.
