The Social Enterprise

Mesh Mash is a social enterprise that empowers young people aged 12-25 to respond to social, environmental or political themes through their art practice. Quality limited edition printed clothing, homewares and accessories are produced from the design studio based in Laverton in Melbourne's inner west.

In June 2018 Mesh Mash and Woods Street Arts Space, Laverton hosted an Artist in Residence program in partnership with the Institute of Koorie Education (IKE), Deakin University.

Brandi Salmon (Wiradjuri) and Paula Reeve (Gunditjmara) were guest artists. They both had just completed a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Arts at Deakin University and were seeking further opportunities to expand their art practice in a professional setting. The Artists in Residence program enabled the artists to have a dedicated workshop space with equipment and materials to create new work as well as develop new skills.  The artists engaged in printmaking workshops and hosted an artist talk and community workshop as part of the residency period.
