Prophet Motif has worked for many years in remote Australian communities delivering textile and screen print training to artists and the general community. Textiles fill an important niche in the art market, as well as making a cultural statement locally.

YARDAGE PRINTING

The Northern Territory of Australia has a rich history of screen printed textiles, beginning in 1970 with the launch of Tiwi Designs on the Tiwi Islands. Many communities across the Top End boast excellent facilities, world-class designers and skilled printers. ProMo offers technical services, training and consultation to yardage printers in urban and remote locations.

TSHIRT PRINTING

ProMo works for some of the finest Australian artists currently practising, assisting them to translate often complex cultural designs into a commercial textile product. Printed tshirts make the work of these artists accessible to a wide range of folk within the community as well as outside customers.

PAPER PRINTING

The versatility of screen print facilitates both poster printing and fine art prints on paper by senior artists and novices. The relative speed of production produces rapid multiples for personal and commercial benefit. Designs are often inspired by family or ceremony, community life and traditional lore.  And footy!
