Silkscreening Art and Design

I was honoured to have guest Kingi Carpenter, designer and owner of Peach Berserk on yesterday's episode of Crafted Spaces Radio. Kingi joined us as part of our new segment on textile art and design. We had an amazing discussion on silkscreening, and Kingi shared with us her love and expertise on this wonderful design technique.

Kingi's designs are fun and bursting with energy and colour. Her store is a must visit whenever you are in Toronto. She has over 200 original prints in her collection and there is always something new. I have been a long time admirer of Kingi Carpenter's work and the half hour show was way too short a time period for all the questions I had. We also had questions from our chat room, which I hope we successfully addressed.

If you have not had a chance to listen to our interview with her, visit us at Crafted Spaces Radio to do so now. It was so much fun chatting with her and I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to our conversation.

Kingi has also been generous to offer our listeners an opportunity to WIN a copy of her book "Silkscreen NOW" along with a Peach Berserk Hoody OR the choice of a Silkscreening Workshop at her store and studio at 507 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario. Remember to leave a comment and/or email us at craftedspaces@gmail.com for your chance to win one of the two great prizes. The winner will be randomly selected and announced on next weeks Crafted Spaces Radio show on Wednesday, September 21st, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. est.
