#workinprogress: hand-crafted posters. Find out how!

As curatorial team, we are not afraid of getting our hands dirty.

When adventure calls, we gladly answer! After the amazing design of our poster made by Lyanne Polderman was done, we moved from theory to practice.

With the great supervision of Sjra Marx, the team met up at Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design to print the posters using the silk screen tecnique.

The most interesting thing we had to do was also create the four different colours for the posters ourselves. The designed ones gave us an idea of what we were looking for and we started "playing" with different tonalities. Mixing and trying to create the best shade of the colour we were looking for was fun and engaging.

After finding the perfect match, we moved on to the process of making the physical posters... one by one!

However, our job was not done yet. After the colour dried, we had to cut each poster to make it the right dimension.

Et voilà! The posters were ready to be sticked around town!
