Tee Therapy: A Craft, Culture & Conversation Workshop

Saturday, 13 December 202510:00 AM – 5:00 PMA42 Art House, 6A 8th Avenue, Parktown North

Tee Therapy is a creative, hands-on workshop exploring the cultural lives of T-shirts in South Africa — how they shape identity, speak about women, and travel across global and local systems of meaning. Through conversation, storytelling, and guided upcycling, you will transform secondhand T-shirts into expressive artworks using techniques such as beading, embroidery, appliqué, and weaving.

No experience is required — just curiosity and creativity. All materials and tools will be provided along with hands-on guidance from facilitators Khensani and Andria.

Your ticket includes:A selection of curated T-shirtsA sewing kit to take homeAll materials, tools, and equipment on the dayGuided instruction in embroidery, crochet and applique for all skill levelsRefreshments and lunch (please specify any dietary restrictions or allergies at checkout)

Limited parking available—we recommend using Uber or ride-share. The session will be photographed and recorded.

Tee Therapy forms part of T-Shirt Tales, a transcultural artistic research project using the T-shirt as a material and methodological lens for unpacking communication, symbolism, and global exchange. The workshop positions all participants as co-researchers — not passive subjects — and treats making, dialogue, and craft as legitimate forms of knowledge production. The session will be photographed and recorded.
