Upcycling Workshop: Reverse Fabric Painting
Details
A creative and conscious way to give new life to your clothes ✨
Reverse painting is exactly what it sounds like: instead of adding color, you’ll remove it from solid-colored garments to create unique and unexpected designs.
It’s the perfect opportunity to transform forgotten clothes — stained, faded, or no longer your style, into something completely new.
You can also bring a new piece if you're aiming for a more refined and aesthetic result.
🧵 What you need to know:
Technique works only on natural fabrics (especially cotton)
- Ideal for: t-shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, and similar items
*Darker fabrics create stronger contrast - Synthetic fabrics are not suitable
👉 Don’t have a suitable piece?
We can provide a t-shirt, just indicate your size and preference in the registration form. It will have an extra cost of 8 euros.
🎨 About the workshop:
Duration: 2 hours
- Open to all ages
*Children must be accompanied by an adult - Bring 1 or more garments to work on
