Tote Bag Screen Printing with Mandy Tolley

Join artist Mandy Tolley for this very exciting drop-in session, where you can screen print your very own tote bag to take home!

For our current exhibition, Your Salford 100: Contemporary Narratives, artist Mandy Tolley has created a series of works inspired by a plush toy bear from our permanent collection, lovingly referred to as the Bear.

For one day only, she’ll be doing live screen prints of the Bear onto tote bags in our East Wing featuring a brand new design! All are welcome to watch as she does a printing demonstration, or better yet –print a bag yourself!

Mandy will be showing visitors the basics and allowing people to have a go when requested. Bags, whether printed by Mandy or yourself, will be available to purchase on the day.

  • The event itself is free to attend, but if you’d like to purchase a tote the cost is £3.50 per bag.

  • Bags can only be purchased onsite on the day, not in advance.

  • There will be two colour options and one design available.

  • Bags will be available for purchase right at the activity table in our East Wing Gallery with a member of staff.

All ages welcome, and encouraged!
