The 24 hour period also allows us to show guests our printing practise and the skills needed to produce high quality clothing and posters for commercial selling.

Poster exhibition celebrating the launch of local print ventures: tba magazine and the one69a collective.

tba is a monthly poster-zine committed to unearthing Manchester’s creative foundations. Hand produced and independently generated to promote the city’s diverse art and music communities.

Based at Salford’s Islington Mill, one69a mobilise the medium of screen printing to both create and educate with their workshops and live printing events. As a business they offer a bespoke and friendly service.

Together they are putting on NEW MANCHESTER, an art and music showcase taking place at their Islington Mill home on May 14 & 15. A preview of the poster exhibition will be on display at Manchester’s latest pop-up gallery, The Art Corner above Trof, Fallowfield.
