Make it: Fashion

Looking for something to do on the weekends? Join Make its for hands-on, family-friendly activities, inspired by the Museum’s collection and exhibitions. 

This Make it invites your family to explore textiles and fashion, through printmaking! Led by artist Kim Chin, get inspired by the Naomi In Fashion exhibition to design your own prints for fashion. Take turns on a portable printing press, using printing making inks, to bring your designs to life on fabric.

Come along to learn some new skills as a family. Let your child take the lead, but work together as a family to explore designing and creating. 

Your family will come away with fashion inspired prints on textiles to take home and new skills around how to make print designs on fabric.

All materials will be provided, all sourced sustainably. 

No previous experience is necessary, just come along and join in! 

The 10:30 workshop is recommended for ages 5-7; 13:00 is recommended for ages 8-10 and 15:00 is recommended for 11-13. Each workshop is 90 minutes long.
