Christmas t-shirt competition
Over Christmas, our members got into the Christmas spirit with a fun and creative T-shirt competition! The competition provided our members with the fantastic opportunity to showcase their artistic talents whilst learning something new—how to print their designs onto T-shirts using sublimation printing.
Our members were invited to create unique, Christmas-themed designs. From cheerful snowmen and twinkling Christmas trees to iconic Christmas characters. Our members began by sketching their designs on paper, then scanned them and added the finishing touches using our iPads and Procreate software.
With guidance from our printing team, members learned the sublimation printing process. It was a hands-on experience that combined creativity with a practical skill—and everyone left with a custom T-shirt they could be proud of!
Willowbrook hearts
For the second year running, we had the privilege of contributing to Willowbrook Hospice’s annual “Light Up a Life” service—a heartfelt event that honours and remembers loved ones. Will, along with the help of some of our other members, engraved 150 memory hearts using our Glowforge laser cutter. These beautifully crafted hearts were served as cherished keepsakes for the families who attended the service.
If I can do it, you can do it
One of our members, Scott “Scotty2Hotty” has created a motivational Workout Album titled, “If I Can Do It, You Can Do It”. Featuring his favourite high-energy tracks, this album is designed to keep you moving, motivated, and pushing past your limits—no matter your fitness level.
Scott started the creation of his album by recording an introduction to give the CD a personal touch, which counted down to a track list full of his favourite high-energy songs.
He then designed it’s album cover using procreate and canva on our iPads. Scott created a bold and inspiring cover that reflects the album’s powerful message and incorporated his fantastic artistic abilities. He wanted his wheelchair to be the main focus of the album cover, which is what we made sure to do during the photoshoot.
