Sustainable Halloween Spider Web Workshop - Tee Remade 10am session

This Halloween, ditch the synthetic spider webs and create your own eco-friendly version! In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to transform an old white tee into a spooky spider web decoration — no polyester, no microplastics, and no harm to birds or wildlife.

Using simple cutting, stretching and knotting techniques, we'll guide you through the process of remaking your unwanted t-shirt into a reusable Halloween decoration that's better for the planet and just as creepy-crawly as the store-bought kind. Perfect for anyone who loves Halloween, crafting, and sustainable living.

Please bring along an old white t-shirt which you are happy to repurpose!

No sewing required — just bring an old white tee and your creativity!

PLEASE NOTE: Children must have an adult guardian present throughout the event. It is the guardian’s responsibility to supervise your child. Participants need to be able to use scissors and knot without assistance, therefore it is recommended that children under the age of 10 work with an adult. Adults accompanying children do not need to book a ticket to attend.

When: Thursday 2nd October, 10am - 11am
Where: The Community Art Space at Hawthorn Arts Centre
