Create Your Own Multi-Coloured Screen Printed Pillowcase, Tote Bag or Tea Towel – School Holiday Workshop in Sydney!

In this hands-on school holiday workshop, kids will explore the colourful world of screen printing to create their own custom pillowcase, tea towel or tote bag plus a BYO tee or hoodie to take home.

Using a series of pre-made single-colour screens, kids will layer shapes, motifs and patterns to build a bold, multi-coloured summer-themed design. From beachy elements to blooming florals, we’ll guide them to create a one-of-a-kind piece they’ll be proud to use or gift.

Each participant will select from a range of screens and colour options to build their own layered composition. Designs will be printed using fabric-safe inks onto high-quality blank textiles—ready to brighten up the home or add flair to everyday outings.

Why They Will Love It:

This workshop is a great fit for both first-time printers and returning students who’ve already joined our screen printing classes. Kids who’ve been before will love building on what they’ve learned—experimenting with new colours, different placement techniques, and fresh designs that feel completely different to their previous creations. Everyone walks away with something bold, bright and completely unique!

What they will learn:

• How screen printing works using single-colour screens
• How to layer colours and shapes to build a design
• How to align and register prints across multiple layers
• How to apply fabric ink and use a squeegee
• How to care for their printed fabric to make it last

Cancellation Policy: Due to the seasonal nature of this workshop it can not be cancelled or rescheduled. You are welcome to send someone else in your place if you can't make it on the day. In most of our workshops we require a minimum number of people to run the workshop and will do our absolute best to run every workshop we list but occasionally it is not commercially feasible to do so. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the class; in this case, we'll inform you and allow you to get a full refund or reschedule.
