Design and print your own T-shirt or tote bag in this sustainable screen printing workshop led by Colour Earth.
Join Colour Earth for an engaging and immersive workshop where participants will have the opportunity to design and print their own T-shirt or tote bag using Colour Earth’s natural-inspired designs and their signature Regen Ink print paste.
Attendees will select from four pre-designed screens inspired by plants and fungi and learn how to print their chosen design onto 100% certified organic cotton. Throughout the workshop, they’ll be guided through the fundamentals of screen printing, from sustainable fashion dyeing techniques and using an aluminium frame, to applying and fixing screen printing paste. The session will also explore how to care for the finished piece to ensure it lasts.
All materials will be provided, including aprons and gloves.
