Both Heather and Gemma enrolled on

last year and booked the studio for

technical support. It was lovely to

see them again soon.

Simon Langton Careers Fair
















The Print Block was kindly invited to
participate in a Careers Day at Simon
Langton Girls School in Canterbury last
week. We were certanly kept on our toes
all day answering questions from pupils
eager to know what's involved in setting
up a screenprinting business and I think
Suki must have demonstrated her screen
& squeegee technique at least a hundred
times!
