Over the past 6 weeks, clients from Stonehouse Lifestyles have been enjoying an All About Me project in New Alderston House, Bellshill. LifewithArt tutor Steph Davidson tells us more…..

The theme of the screen printing project was All About Me.  Each service user brought a childhood photo of themselves or used a mirror to draw a self portrait.   After drawing their self portrait they began to create patterns using collage, acetate and sharpie pens. Some even incorporated animals and flowers into their designs.  Once they had chosen their final design they began copying their drawing on to a screen-printing screen. Each service user printed their design onto a t-shirt and tote bag using colours they had mixed themselves.
