Contemporary Kids: Press Into Fall

Join us for a special workshop with artists Samantha Leriger and Monica Ila. Get ready to design, press, and create! Kids will explore colours and shapes as they turn a plain canvas tote into their own artwork in this vinyl heat press workshop. Inspired by the changes in nature and the autumn season, we will cut and layer vinyl before using a heat press to bring their compositions to life!

No experience needed—just bring your imagination, get creative, and take home a unique tote bag!

Kids are also welcome to bring one piece of their own fabric or cloth to this activity. Please make sure it is made from 100% natural fibres, such as cotton or linen.

Safety note: As this workshop uses a heat press to transfer vinyl to fabric, high temperatures are involved and there is a risk of heat-related injuries. The artists will supervise and assist participants in using the heat press safely.

Our Free onsite Contemporary Kids programs invite children to learn about modern and contemporary art through unique and engaging art activities.

For children ages 5-12. Maximum group of 20 children, with one guardian per child.
