Beachside Painting Workshops for Fringe Festival

The City of Stirling approached me to run custom 'drop-in' trucker painting workshops at the stunning Sunset Veranda during the Fringe World Festival. This free activity aimed to kids, parents, and other festival goers.

Over the course of the festival, we facilitated multiple three-hour drop-in workshops. People of all ages showed up eager to customise their very own trucker caps. Each participant could choose from four different coloured caps, and we supplied all the paint pens and pencils needed to turn a blank canvas into something truly special.

The concept was designed to be laid-back and accessible. With the drop-in style, we could accommodate up to 50 people in just two hours, which meant we could include as many participants as possible throughout the day. It also meant that we could cater to different age groups and attention spans.

What I loved the most was seeing the creativity flow, especially when the kids realised they could create their very own piece of wearable art. It was amazing to watch them get absorbed in the painting process, knowing that they would walk away with something they could wear with pride. The joy on their faces when they finished their caps—some even proudly rocking them to school after—was priceless.
