Paint on clothing — traditional techniques in Munich
Design your own piece by hand. Traditional textile techniques, your style — and you leave wearing something one of a kind.

Wash-proof
Your colours survive the washing machine.
Silly Threads brings traditional textile art to Munich — paint clothing by hand and leave wearing something one of a kind. Instead of fast fashion: a piece with a story, designed by you, using techniques that have worked for generations. Beginner-friendly, relaxed, with all materials provided.
What you make in the workshop
You pick a garment — your own or one of ours — and design it by hand with textile paints. We show you traditional patterns and techniques, help with motif and composition, and set the colours at the end so your piece is wash-proof.
- Traditional patterns & techniques, step by step
- Bring your own piece or use one of ours
- Textile paints, brushes & stencils provided
- Set wash-proof — wearable right away
Slow fashion, made by you
You wear a hand-painted piece differently: it tells the story of the evening it was made. Instead of buying yet another t-shirt, you make one nobody else owns — and pick up craft skills that never go out of style.
