Workshop Description

In Artuta’s second in-person Summer workshop, instructors Kosuke and Joan will guide you through the process of decorating your t-shirt using special fabric paint! We’ll start with a warm-up using pens and paper and then, once you’ve decided on a design, our instructors will show you how to apply it to your shirt. Joan and Kosuke will paint alongside you, offering guidance and encouraging you to experiment. T-shirts will be photographed and featured in the Artuta Online Art Gallery . Bring your own t-shirt and we’ll provide the rest! *After the paint dries, you will need to set it by ironing it according to the instructions.

Required Materials

All participants need to bring their own t-shirts—light colors work best—and we’ll provide the rest!

Hello! I’m looking forward to meeting you here on Artuta. I am a Brooklyn based artist. I was born in Kyoto and raised in Shiga,Japan and moved to New York in 2011.

Joan Hacker

My name is Joan and I am a Sound Art instructor here at Artuta. My intuition tells me that art cannot be taught; but curiosity and zeal can be inspired in others through one’s own love for a subject.

Jerry Chan

Hi everyone! My name is Jerry, I am a visual artist. I was born in Hong Kong and moved to New York in 2018, now based in New Jersey. I’m so excited to see you on Artuta to have fun together!
