Guest Speakers
During the seminars the following speakers will talk about screen printing :
With studies in Graphic Design, Set Design and Pattern Design, Tallulah Darling seeks harmony through bold visual approaches. With her project, "Unconsciousland", she turns to screen printing, creating a charming dialogue between the world of fashion and introspection.
Alexa and Leo, with an abundance of will, perseverance and an aversion to risk, decided to create and develop their own brand by printing their own creations. T-shirts, sweatshirts and tote bags with a special character and personality that expresses in the best way the message of faith in what they do.
Vasilis Georgiou has been professionally active in the field of graphic design since 2003. In 2020, he founded HALO Creative Design Lab in Larissa, a multi-dimensional workshop combining graphic design, screen printing and other production techniques. He will share his experience in managing a demanding production space as a One Man’s Show. In 2019, he himself participated in the PIY screen printing workshops.
