Really loud Art Fabric

Jonathan from outside Leicester said he had seen Koloron 'Flats' used in a demo against the building of an ECO TOWN close to where he teaches. Close to me too Jonathan. Anyway we were not aware of them being used to fight the proposed new town but I have pulled out a picture that has appeared in a Koloron leaflet we created for BEROL. It was a couple of years ago and shows school kids demonstrating. Perhaps not the most creative use of Art Fabric but effective nonetheless. I thought it was worth sharing.

The 'Flat' is particularly useful when demonstrating because it really gives a big area to write on and don't forget, it has two sides, a front and a back. And a Flat will also make a sandwich board. Simple wooden frames under each side and you have a lightweight and rigid pair of signs to get your message across.

One final thought on this subject worth passing on was the clever use of Flats as a background for a stage review I was invited to last summer. Six kids standing in a row became the backdrop. They had a pastoral scene painted on their backs and a seascape painted on their fronts. Stood with their backs to the audience when the curtain opened they spun around together to reveal the blue ocean. It got more than a round of applause.

All this said if you want to make a point paint a 'Top' with your message and put it over whatever you're wearing and get out there. Not enough of us say enough about our world.
