Over the last few months Zise has had the wonderful opportunity to train the ladies at Bima Wear how to Digitise and Design their screen prints on the computer.

Over a total of five weeks the ladies have been learning and practicing using a Digital Camera, Adobe Illustrator and Wacom Tablets. Using these tools and software, the ladies have created new designs for their screen prints and have also fixed up and re-digitised all of their older prints from the last 40 years.

In total the women would have designed well over 100 new designs and re-digitised and fixed more than 50 old screens. This is an incredible accomplishment!

It was a very exciting development and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bima Wear. We have made life-long friends and wish the Bima Wear Women the best of luck in the future and look forward to our next visit!
