About This Event

Revamp Your Old Clothing with Creativity! Join me for a hands-on Screen Printing Workshop, where you'll learn how to transform textiles using pre-made designs and/or your own custom paper stencil! This method explores positive and negative space, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind print. Create a unique print while learning the basics of stencil making, printing, and heat-setting to make your design washproof. What to expect Simple stencil-making demo Quick drawing exercises to develop your design 1:1 guided printing (each person prints one design) No experience needed, just bring creativity! What to bring Light-coloured fabric item (we use black ink) Flat items work best: T-shirts, tote bags, pillowcases, tea towels, fabric pieces (avoid seams/pockets) Cotton or polycotton only (no lycra or polyester) Bring your own garment, let’s upcycle! Tip: Printing is done 1:1, with around 10 minutes per person. If you can, think about your design in advance, text, shape, drawing, or graphic. You can bring it printed on paper to save time when making your stencil.
