Please note: These events are for new and returning UAL students only.
Post-Grad Community will be at the Wimbledon College of Arts Welcome event to talk about how the Post-Grad Community platform works for UAL students and what it can do for your journey, during and after your studies. It’s a great way to connect with UAL’s wider creative network, find other opportunities and share your work.
They will also be hosting an Algae Ink Print Drop-in: Custom Screen-printing with Sustainable Colour with Central Saint Martins PhD Student Cassie Quinn.
Please bring a tote or t-shirt and leave with a print made from algae!
We'll be using Living Ink’s algae black and a vibrant algae green paste, both made from microalgae, one of Earth’s oldest and most sustainable organisms. You'll get to see how these living pigments are applied through screen-printing and leave with your own custom-printed tote or t-shirt.
How it works:
- You bring a light-coloured, clean cotton t-shirt or tote bag
- We print a UAL design using algae-based inks
- You leave with a one-of-a-kind piece printed with future-friendly pigments
🖤 Living Ink Black: made from carbon-negative algae 💚 Algae Green Paste: developed from regenerative microalgae
