This week I popped into the Print Studio at the DCA (Dundee Contemporary Arts) and had my first ever experience of printing with an automatic print table.

Scary.

I eventually got the hang of the pedal / suction / handle contraption - but it did instil in me a type of anxiety not too dissimilar to the clutch / gear stick / accelerator panic of learning to drive. 

Who would have thought fine art screen printing would be so different to textile printing?

After much supervision and concentration, I eventually whipped up 250 of these red on white Zephyr labels for BrewDog.

Silk screen printing by hand means each label is intrinsically individual, having its own unique DNA of inky impression.

A little piece of artwork in its own right.

BrewDog loves Art.

Each label was then painstakingly (literally, I have the paper cuts to prove it) trimmed by hand and are now ready to be sent off to the Brewery to be glued to each bottle of Strawberry infused loveliness.

Leave the Strawberries and Cream to Cliff and his cardigan-wearing chums at Wimbledon.

Cool kids have tattoos and get their Strawberry fix with a bottle of Zephyr.
