Toronto Star – DIY Style – Falling For Crafty Classes

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

prom dress designWhen it comes to silk-screening no one tops Kingi Carpenter`s suckerpunch of a workshop. This veteran printing diva squeezes a wealth of knowledge into her one day course (offered most Sundays), which often results in feverish new converts creating into the wee hours.

Popular among fashion students and crafty entrepreneurs this throrough hands-on workshop is a lot of fun. And it`s no secret that Carpenter`s enthusiasm for her craft is responsible for kick-starting many a local venture.

All materials, including fabric and a t-shirt, a useful handbook, plus all dyes and screens and eight plus hours of studio time for $175.

    Wearing a garment from Peach Berserk is like wearing art!

    Christine – Kingston ON

    “Hey Kingi – My daughter Katie & I received the items we ordered from you just last week. Thank you so much for your prompt delivery & your amazing designs!! We are thrilled with our new Peach Berserk…….tomorrow we’re off to NYC and we’ll be “sporting” our amazing PB pieces while we’re there!!! : D Thanks again….and I’m sure we’ll see you again soon…..already scheming about print combos for our next Peach Berserk pieces!! : D Lisa (& Katie)”

    “Hello Kingi and other amazing people at Peach Berserk,

    I received my wedding dress today.I have to tell you that I’ve noticed a certain expression on the faces of people when I have mentioned to them that I ordered my wedding dress online solely on the basis of your website, without ever having been in the store or seen your work in person. The set of their face, the look in their eyes says “oh-dear-poor-deluded-woman.” I opened the box slowly, realized I was holding my breath. When I saw that glorious splash of painted roses, my breath burst out as astonishment and laughter. I undressed immediately, zipped up the dress and slipped it carefully over my head. I am beautiful in this dress. It is the me I feel I am inside, magically revealed on the outside. And then the jacket. Oh my, the jacket. I didn’t want to put it on at first. How could anything cover this amazing dress. But I did put it on, and turned to look in the mirror. And somehow the jacket makes the dress even more perfect and beautiful. Then I had to weep for a while. A lot of words to say just this – thank you. I feel the love in the dress.”

    Angela, British Columbia

    “Thank you so much for making the most beautiful, perfect dress I’ve ever seen in my life!!!

    You are AMAZING!!!!
    I’ll be in touch!!!

    Hillary, Ann Arbor MI

    “Hi Kingi and Allan
    thank you again for the great silkscreen class. I left Toronto with a smile and completely satisfied with all the learnings and the experiences I made these 2 days. It worth every penny of my trip! I also made a light table and I’m setting a small studio to continue printing.. thanks again for everything… You made my summer!”

    Amelie Lamarche

    “We can’t just walk by. We always seem to get sucked into the store and buy something!”

    Yvette & Leah (longtime customers) – Toronto ON

    “We should have this in Montreal!”

    Carina – Montreal QC

    Micheal Boudewyns – Newark DE

    Magda – Aurora ON

    “The one place I have to go to when I visit Toronto is Peach Berserk!”

    Cassy Were – Dartmouth NS

    Aara MacAuley – Kingston ON

    “To the girls at Peach Berserk,
    I love my custom hoodie! The silhouettes & roses look great together.
    Thank you for the tank top, it was so thoughtful of you.”

    Elaine Reeves – Toronto ON

    “I just received my dress that I bought on ebay and I adore it. It is quite possibly the best thing I have ever spent money on. When I found out you did custom work I almost fell on the floor!! I would love an Edie Sedgwick hoodie. To tell you the truth, I would take item in your lovely store with Edie on it.”

    Karla Cribbs

    “I bought your fabulous punk rock print dress (with the cute pink fringe and flowers!) for prom, and felt absolutely dazzling in it. (Got a ton of compliments too!) At prom I noticed a friend of mine, Emily also had a beautiful dress from Peach Berserk! ”

    Lindsay Goeldner – Toronto ON

    “I wore my “Boardwalk Babe” dress every day on my trip to New Orleans last week- it was a record heatwave, so I only packed cute sundresses to wear. The guys at the Zydeco Dance, the waiter at Napoleon House, and the lady sitting next to me on the St. Charles streetcar all loved it, and no matter how hot it got, I always felt glam!”

    Maura Burns – West Virginia

    The most flattering dress I’ve ever had!

    Lisa Bryant – Oakville ON

    “Peach Berserk is worth coming back to Canada for!”

    Rebecka – Stockholm Sweden

    “I first came to this store as a little girl with my mother about 17 years ago. To me Peach Berserk is an institution to Toronto that has survived the rapidly occuring Queen West gentrification process. They embody the funky and original clothing design creativity that Queen West used to be.”

    Kendall Coontz – Toronto ON

    “My friend tried on a dress and I immediately wanted it. Peach Berserk brings out the jealousy in you!”
