If you're a Halloween lover this project is for you! We've had a go with Speedball's Acrylic Night Glo Ink and made our own glow in the dark Halloween poster. This ink really gives your prints a twist - it would be great for children's (or adults'!) bedrooms too. Read more

Meet the Maker: Basil and Ford
We are a husband and wife screen printing duo. We met at university where we were both studying Art & Design. In 2011 we got engaged and started the hunt for wedding stationery. We couldn't find what we wanted without a huge price tag so we ended up hand screen printing them ourselves and we caught the bug. Fast forward a couple of years and we were married and still working in London, both in design/ad agencies and then found out we were expecting our first little one. We assessed all our options and decided we wanted to head out of the big smoke before the baby arrived and thought we would go all in and set up Basil & Ford back in Stamford all before Matilda turned up in September 2013. And the rest, as they say is history. Read more
Screen Printing Hand Drawings using Film Marker Pens
Translating drawings into print doesn't have to include scanning and digitally manipulating your design on a computer.

This allows you to work in full scale, even tracing other print layers or design elements so that they will fit exactly. Read more
