Pupils had already been introduced to the screen printing process on the afternoon of Day 1 when they printed their power banner. Please see the introduction day for pictures.

On Day 4 they cut out selected parts from their power drawings and screen printed them as power figures.

(Above) Viv, Sola, Jacqui and Tony holding the screen printed power print before it was made into the banner/book. One of the figures is displayed on the front and one on the back of the book. To decorate the inside, on Day 5, the pupils mono-printed their own individual squares (shown below).

Also on Day 5 the pupils screen printed their own bags into which their personal writings/memories will be placed. These are to be pinned to the mono-printed inside of the banner/book at the finishing ceremony as a way of activating it. Many of the pupils machine sewed up their own bags with help from Shelagh, one of the Cloth of Gold finishers.

THE FINISHED BANNER/BOOK was presented at a joint performance day with Project 4 (Rectory Paddock Special School) in May 2000 when the bags were ceremoniously hung inside the book.
