Kostenloser Workshop: T-Shirt Upcycling | Creative Summer Potsdamer Platz

Turn old T-shirts into bags, new designs, or festival-ready outfits

In this free workshop, you’ll transform old T-shirts into new favorites. Using shirts you bring along or have on hand, you can create items such as bags, new designs, printed motifs, or custom-designed clothing.

Using simple techniques like stencils, dyeing, and transfer designs, you can redesign your shirt or give an old piece of clothing a whole new purpose. You can also create festival-ready styles or dance and stage outfits—perfect for attending “Tanz mit!” at Potsdamer Platz from June 26 to July 11, 2026.

The workshop is open to everyone, free of charge, and requires no prior experience. You can simply drop by, join in, and give it a try.
