The big reveal

The time has finally come. I’ve been alluding to this for months, and have been busting to talk about it ...and now I finally can.

Say hello to Ink & Spindle - our new yardage screen printing business to-be :)

Yep, we’re ‘insourcing’. For months now, Bianca, myself and fellow artsy chick Tegan Rose have been planning this. Bringing the screen printing of our fabrics in house, having more control, more flexibility. And also ... offering it as a service :)

So for all those people out there who have always wanted to print their own fabric but don’t know where to go... we’ll be able to do it for you. We’re still a while away from being up and running, and will need some time to perfect the process – but our aim is to cater to anyone who’s interested in having their own designs printed onto textiles, not just those who are ‘in the know’ and have managed to uncover the few yardage printers around.

We also plan to have a strong customer service focus, and great web based facilities that make the process much easier.

Last Monday we got the keys to our new studio space which marks the true beginning, and a sign that we can start sharing the journey.

The space we’ve secured is beautiful - set inside the old Younghusband wool store building in Kensington. Most people would have seen it from the railway line or CityLink, an unmissable, massive building with old warehouse lettering along the side.

We’re in the process of doing up the space now, visit our blog to see some of the progress shots :)

Excitement abounds :)
