Craft paints
These paints are all designed with a specific task in mind. They are modified to make them ideal for the stated purpose and, although you can use them for other purposes, they should not be expected to have the same permanence as artists’ paints

PERMASET AQUA FABRIC MAGIC SCREEN PRINT INK
Permaset Fabric Screen Ink
This very superior screen printing ink for fabrics is water based, low odour, solvent free and pigment based. This makes it simple to use - needing no chemicals for cleaning and no special place to do it. The colours are lightfast and the covering power is excellent without any hard build up of paint - the softness of the fabric is hardly affected. All the colours are suitable for light coloured fabrics but in addition we have 14 colours of Permaset Supercover which are specifically for dark and black fabrics. This enables you to print directly on to a black t-shirt and achieve full colour with just one coat. They are suitable for cotton, polyester, silk and most synthetic fabrics.
 
DALER ROWNEY SCREENPRINTING KIT

Everything you need to start silk screen is in this box and very economically too. This kit contains a 41x55cm wooden frame with mesh, a squeegee, 5 tubes of System 3 acrylic, a pot each of screen print medium and fabric paint medium - either of which mixes with the acrylic to make a suitable printing ink, some screen block, screen drawing fluid, full instructions and even a useful and very fetching pinny.
It's a good size for t-shirts, pillow cases, shopping bags… and once you've used up the paints they've supplied you can buy more System 3 at our discount prices.
