Fashion Workshop - T-Shirt Spray Painting
This popular fashion workshop is a fab way to get young people creative and switched on to the fashion and textile design process.
Your group will love having the freedom to apply their own ‘Street-Style' twist to a standard tee – with a little help from top fashion designer and SSS founder Sissy Rooney… plus a stack of Banksy-esque stencils and Marabu fabric spray paints.
What happens on this fashion workshop?
- A punchy, personal motivational talk from Sissy about how – with passion, creativity and perseverance – the young people can achieve whatever they set their hearts on… no matter how difficult their background.
- Sissy gives the group some creative inspiration by showing off examples of clothing designed and customised at previous fashion workshops.
- Sissy introduces the group to the materials they'll use, including fabric spray paints, fabric pens and crayons. The group can create their own design stencils using images from the internet, or use the stencils supplied.
- The group let their imaginations run wild, brainstorming design ideas which they then refine down to a technical working sketch of the tee they want to make.
- The young people work on their designs with Sissy on standby for help, ideas and guidance.
- The group fill out a garment costing sheet* gaining a real-world understanding of how they could make money from their artistic talents.
- Photos of the group with their stylish creations and maybe even a mini fashion show – the tees are the young people's to keep and wear with pride!
