Print in Action: Minski Pop-up Shop
MINSKI is a unique and sustainable slow-fashion brand specialising in bold prints and bright colours.
Join us at ocean studios for a weekend pop-up shop showcasing MINSKI’s latest creations as part of Print in Action.
Browse through funky handmade clothing whilst learning how your sustainable garments are made.
Give your old clothes some new love!
Bring your own pre-owned t-shirts, hoodies or tote bags and try your hand at up-cycling with hand printed MINSKI patches.
Or, get involved in an informal patch-printing workshop run by artist Ismay Rose Berncastle. The workshop will teach you how to bring new life into older clothing using recycled materials and block printing methods. Get creative and put a stamp on your fashion!

You can also drop in on the day and check-in with one of our Hosts on the day.
About the artists
Artist and fashion designer Nina Westwood started the MINSKI clothing brand during her time at Plymouth College of Art in 2019. Since then it has developed into a project promoting upcycling, sustainable slow-fashion and expressing one’s individuality. Nina uses hand printing methods frequently to design fabric and rework old clothing. Taking inspiration from festival and bohemian style, as well as streetwear, Nina aims to create a sense of fun and playfulness in her work and encourages people to try clothing on and get experimental with their outfits. “It’s all about having fun, playing dress-up and enjoying the creative process of choosing an outfit!”
Ismay Rose Berncastle is a young multidisciplinary artist working within the art and music sectors in Devon and Cornwall. Using portraiture, she explores themes of identity, belonging and self expression which also feature heavily in her other practices in songwriting and performance. As a passionate member of her local creative community, Ismay Rose is currently in the process of creating a new local publication which will embrace and celebrate all that Plymouth’s creative community have to offer.
