Langdon College is home to LC Print formerly known as the Karten Centre. All the students of the College get together to manage LC Print. We all work on different things individually and have chosen jobs on either the creative or finance side of the business. We make and sell coasters, tea towels, mugs, satchel bags, tote bags, cards and tea towels. Students get together to think up designs that will then be used on our products. We chose a flower design and included a slogan, ‘We are all different flowers from the same garden,’ which enables us to give over the message about embracing difference.
We have a mug press with which we make individualised mugs with photos on them and also our own designs can be put on mugs. We have a heat press for making t-shirts, bags, tea-towels and coasters. The computer is used to make images to go on cards and we have a sublimation printer to print all the designs for the stock.
We have sold our products at events such Arden College’s Party in the Park event, the Nicky Alliance Nursing Home, The Friendship Circle Fashion Show and Sale Theatre Footloose production.
Langdon College works over two sites and this term, are now starting to collaborate using the LC Print equipment.
I am part of the LC Print Finance Team and our income from sales in this academic year has been £470.51.
