Discover the joy of creation while caring for the planet. This workshop series invites young creatives to explore sustainable textile art through upcycling and hands-on design. Using fabric leftovers and recycled materials, participants will develop artistic skills, environmental awareness, and a designer’s mindset. 
 
The programme is divided into two age-appropriate streams: 
  • Junior (primary 4 - 6)
  • Senior (secondary 1 - 6)
A unique opportunity to experience professional design education at HKDI while building a strong foundation for future creative studies.

  • A 15-minute HKDI Creative Mini-Tour — step into professional design studios, explore tools and materials, and get inspired before creating. 
  • Four hands-on workshops focused on sustainable textile design and fashion. 
  • Access to HKDI’s state-of-the-art Fashion Studios, Fashion Archive, and Digital Media Labs.
