My first visit to a factory....

On Thursday last week I was fortunate enough to attend a tour of Fresh Air in London. My whole time as a designer I've wanted to visit a factory so you can imagine my enthusiasm when I was asked if I wanted to go!..For those who don't know Fresh Air, they specialise in tshirt printing from plastisol, metallic foils, puff, discharge to name a few! We saw how they separate artworks and each layer indicates a colour which was then placed on a screen. The screens are then placed carefully on a huge £10,000 machine which rotates each tshirt to create the finishing design. All this is managed by some truly skilful people who really do care about their customer values.
After our in-depth hour long tour (which really was 10/10) I was given a souvenir...to all you JLS fans, I know your jealous!
