All the while, our very own screen printing studio was coming to life in our basement. Years in the making, we were finally at the point of being able to use our studio as a legitimate service to others. The timing could not have been more perfect that when Beth mentioned she was planning on wearing an apron to Be Well Philly—their first major public event as Grateful Plate—we were able to say “I have an idea for that!"
Beth dropped off four gorgeous aprons from Anthropologie and we were tasked with coming up with a way to tie them into the brand system. It was important to us to create something that could be integrated into their lives and the way they do their work. It felt really special that we could put this mark on something so functional that could in turn leave a mark on the people they interact with. We took some photos, did some mock ups, and made some recommendations and we were on our way to printing. Joanna—our studio manager, a print maker herself, and the master behind getting the print studio up and running—beautifully executed the printing and we were able to give back to them four aprons even more gorgeous than when we received them.
