Design Your Own Tote Bag
Paint, play, and create your own tote!
Join artist-led tote bag painting fun — 90 minutes of colour, creativity and laughter for all ages.
Get creative together! Join artist Sarah Armstrong for a 90-minute tote bag painting workshop — where families, kids and adults can design, paint, and take home their own wearable artwork.
Sarah Armstrong is an artist and independent art educator who transforms the act of making into a joyful, confidence-building experience.
Her workshops for children, adults, and families are designed to unlock creativity and encourage play, whether it’s through bold brushstrokes, expressive abstraction, or hands-on family sessions. Sarah’s classes are about more than technique—they nurture imagination, celebrate individuality, and build community through shared creative moments.
Alongside her teaching, Sarah creates original paintings and bespoke commissions, often exploring the female form with energy and authenticity. But her truest passion lies in guiding others: from adults rediscovering their creativity to children brimming with curiosity, she helps people find their artistic voice in welcoming, playful spaces.
At the heart of Sarah’s practice is connection—between artist and student, parent and child, body and canvas.
This workshop lasts 90 mins
