ONE OF THE AMAZING THINGS ABOUT RUNNING A DIY GRASSROOTS CHARITY WITH YOUR FRIENDS IS SEEING WHAT AMAZING THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO AND THE SKILLS PEOPLE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THESE SCREEN PRINTED ITEMS WERE PRINTED BY FRIEND AND SUPPORTER OF THE TIN WAR PROBE, STAN SMITH. A TRANS WELSH TEXTILE ARTIST. HE HAND CARVED LINO BLOCKS TO CREATE THESE USING DEAD STOCK DONATED TO US BY VISIBLE ARTS, A SCREEN PRINTING COMPANY IN CARDIFF BAY. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THESE HIGHLY TALENTED PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY @SKAPUNKSTAN MOT/CTDOV/002.6
