Learn the Art of Screen Printing: A Creative Kids Workshop in Inner West Sydney!

Encourage creativity and self-expression in our Kids Screen Printing Workshop—now with new stencil designs for returning participants! This term, kids will screen print two unique designs on a tote bag or cushion cover (provided) and a BYO t-shirt, creating bold, wearable art to take home.

This full-day workshop is perfect for young artists aged 8 to 12, offering hands-on experience with professional screen printing techniques. Kids will choose from a range of pre-made stencil designs (no cutting required) and print their designs directly onto their items using vibrant, high-quality inks.

Each child will complete two single-colour prints, one on each base item. They can mix and match designs or keep them separate—it’s up to them!

What’s New in This Class:

Screen Printing continues to be one of our most popular workshops, and this winter we’re encouraging kids to think seasonally! In addition to the tote bag we provide, kids are welcome to bring a cotton hoodie or sweatshirt in addition to a long- or short-sleeved t-shirt to print on.

We recommend 100% cotton for best results, though a 60/40 cotton-poly blend is generally fine for casual wear. (Higher polyester blends may not absorb the ink properly.)

Kids can bring more than one item if they’d like to try a couple of prints — we’ll do our best to fit them in, time allowing.

We’ll also have puff ink available for those who want to experiment with raised, textured designs.

If your child has a specific theme request, please email us at least 2 weeks in advance – we’re happy to prepare a custom design if it’s something we can create in time.

What to Bring:

👕 A plain t-shirt and or a cotton hoodie or sweatshirt to print on (natural fibres work best, pre-washed for best results)
🥪 A packed lunch, snacks, and a water bottle
🚫 Please avoid sending foods containing nuts
🩳 Wear old clothes—things might get messy!
