Screen Printing Class for Kids

Searching for fun kids activities in Melbourne? Give your creative child the opportunity to discover just how easy and fun it is to screenprint!

In this two-hour class in Fitzroy North, kids can choose a design, pick a colour, and transform their own t-shirts, hoodies or pillowcases into a unique masterpiece.

We will have screens pre-prepared with a range of prints to choose from. Kids should bring along some plain 100 per cent cotton items so they have plenty to print and take home.

studiotroika uses eco-friendly water-based inks and in the class, we'll be experimenting on supplied calico cloth. We will provide kids with a tote bag which they can print their choice of design on and take home at the end of the class.

We also have many designs exposed onto screens which kids are welcome to experiment with.

This is a fun class focused on learning the basic techniques and then exploring the myriad ways screenprinting can be utilised. Let your kids get in touch with their creative side!

Please note: If your child would like to have one of their own drawings exposed on-screen, please contact your teacher one week prior to your workshop to discuss this. There is an additional charge for exposing your own artwork onto screens ($45).

• Cotton calico fabric for test printing.
• A range of ink colours.
• Kids will be provided with all materials necessary for the workshop. (Screens, inks, squeegees and calico to print on).
• A choice of a tote bag or tea towel for kids' final original print, to take home and enjoy!

• We will have blank tote bags and tea towels for purchase at $5 per item. Kids are also welcome to bring along plain t-shirts or pillowcases to print your designs onto (100% cotton or linen works best in light base colours).
• Screenprinting can be a little messy at times. We will provide kids with an apron but it's best not to wear precious clothes! They will also need to wear covered shoes.

This would also be a unique gift for her, gift for mum or birthday gift.
