LED T- Shirts (CSC185)

Create a customised light up t-shirt as you learn simple sewing and crafting techniques on this illuminating one day workshop!

What will you learn on this course?

Participants will unleash their imagination and artistic talents as they experiment with LED light strips, batteries and ordinary t-shirts. Be amazed by the colours, lights and patterns that can be made when combining traditional sewing techniques with technology!

They will be free to decide the basic designs of their pieces - for which they'll have a range of different ideas and templates – and which materials work best to execute their design. Their work will involve creative patterns and decorative lighting elements!

Customising t-shirts involves cutting, gluing, hand sewing and embellishment which will enhance fine motor skills and attention to detail. Young people will use a t-shirt they bring with them as well as thread, LED light strips and power supplies provided.

Young people will finish the course with a light up T-shirt to take away, created in a fun, relaxed environment with other like-minded young people.

Who is this course for?

This one-day course is suitable for children aged 12 to 17 years old. It is open to all ability levels and children don’t need previous experience, as full instruction and guidance will be provided by the Tutor. We provide a learning support worker and all our staff are DBS checked. Parents are not expected to accompany children on the course.

The course is accessible for children of all abilities who can participate in practical art and craft activities. A parent or carer may assist their child if required but must book a complimentary ticket if attending a course to provide support. The room is wheelchair accessible.

Age ranges are set carefully to consider key age developments, materials being used, and course stimulus. It is very important that age ranges are not too large or across key stages and therefore need to be adhered to.

Do you need to bring anything?

Please bring a t-shirt for your child to customise! All other materials are provided.

Please note that lunch is not provided. Children will need to bring their own lunch to eat on a supervised one-hour break.

Are there any additional costs?

Materials required for this course are included in the course fee.
