OMG, I am in love with my UV light exposure unit. I just whipped up this screen print from artwork I made and transferred onto screens.

Outfit Out Loud is a vibrant exhibition of wearable artworks created through an upcycled fashion project celebrating LGBTQIA+ identity, creativity and self-expression.

Led by Anna from Aa is for Art, exhibitors transformed pre-loved clothing donated by Green Collect using stitching, painting, airbrushing, patches, embellishments and imaginative alterations. The resulting works are bold, personal and expressive—each piece reimagining fashion as a canvas for identity, storytelling and pride, inviting audiences to experience the colour, confidence and queerness of upcycled self-expression.

The wearable works will be created through a series of workshops in October and November held at Louis Joel Arts & and Woods Street Arts Space for two separate groups at a very low cost and the opportunity to exhibit their work reducing financial barriers to creative participation.The exhibition will be held at Woods Street Arts Space in Feb-March and is proudly supported by Hobsons Bay City Councils Make It Happen Grants.

What a magnificent day yesterday at my studio screen printing students work with my Sunrise Melton group run through GenWest, which is a family violence support service supporting communities to lead safe and healthy lives, by running social and health education programs. The prints will be part of an exhibition I am facilitating for the group which will also have ceramics and other work of art made in our sessions together.

More than a bit excited about this machine I picked up yesterday for a series of workshops I will be running for a few organisations in the next couple of months. I will post workshop dates soon. A UV exposure unit is a specialised device that uses ultraviolet light to harden light-sensitive photo emulsion on a screen printing mesh, transferring a design stencil such as photos or intricate drawings onto the screen. I have edited a couple of images from students and given them a wood grain effect which will look magnificent when printed and layered.
