Dive into the vibrant culture of Palestine with our two-hour workshop, "Painting for Palestine." This session, designed for participants aged 12 and up, offers a unique opportunity to personalise your own garments and create wearable art. You'll design and paint unique tote bags and T-shirts inspired by Palestinian heritage and colours. Guided by expert instructors, you'll learn the basics of freehand painting on fabric, explore essential techniques, colours theory and engage in meaningful discussions about Palestinian art and symbols. All materials, including plain T-shirts and totes, are provided.

By blending art with cultural exploration, this workshop aims to inspire creativity and foster a deeper connection to Palestinian heritage, all while promoting personal growth and wellbeing among our community.
