At Maitai school, we are doing an Enterprise Business Scheme this year ending with an exhibition of ceramic tableware embellished with moulds, prints and fragments of text around the subject of microbes and mini-beasts. Our scheme is centered around the theme of establishing the Bokashi composting system throughout our school, and at the satellite classes in Victory School and Maitai at Henley-Waimea.

hello from khailana
hi india,this is a tank top i made from a couple tee-shirts ,its doeble sided,white on one side and black on the other so i can wear it either way i hope you like it,can you guess HOW i made it tho? from khailana
looks great...and i have to confess, after a 14 hour flight across the Pacific and a whole day of walking around San Francisco, I have no idea how you made it white on one side and black on the other.
but i'm impressed.
i did some work for a dance company once, using old t shirts and slashing so that the cloth expanded quite a lot and lots of skin showed through. was a good look!
here's another thought, Khailana, you might want to check out the Alabama Chanin website...Natalie Chanin first started her business years ago working with reclaimed t shirts here's a link to what they do now
do i write this message here,i'm not sure if you will find it here. well,i made the tank top from two different coloured tee-shirts(one white one black) i traced around one of my tank tops the cut both sides out. cut the slits in and then i used the sewing machine to sew it together! i am glad you like it! i love clothing with holes and slits in them!
sorry it's taken me a while to reply, Khailana...i've been teaching a 5 day class in the US and it just finished yesterday. very impressed by your work...looking forward to see ing more!
