Limited Edition screen printed vintage sweatshirt produced exclusively for the Whitworth to coincide with Delaine Le Bas: Unfair Ground.

Produced by local artist Wendy Roby in collaboration with Delaine Le Bas, this limited edition, vintage garment has been hand printed without solvents using water-based inks. Sourced from charity shops and vintage wholesalers it has been laundered using soda ash - an ingredient also used to make avocado printmaking ink.

Wendy Roby is a Stockport artist who specialises in resourceful forms of printmaking. She makes her own inks from food waste and foraged plants and uses discarded packaging and scrap wood for printing plates. Her favourite craft and art processes take unloved materials and transform them into beautiful objects that celebrate the hand of the maker. She has used hand cut paper stencils to print a graphic reinterpretation of Delaine Le Bas' Snow White painting.

We have a number of different colours and styles available, please get in touch if you'd like to find out further information. Please be aware that due to the stock being sourced second hand, sizing may not be standardised. Also, design may vary slightly per item due to each item being unique.

One of the most distinctive voices in contemporary art and 2024 Turner prize nominee, Delaine Le Bas is renowned for her work addressing nationhood, belonging, gender, and identity, using a diverse range of media including embroidery, découpage, painting, sculpture, installation, and performance.
