African Print Jewellery Making

Bold. Beautiful. Culturally Inspired.

Introduce your students to the vibrant world of African fashion and design through our African Print Jewellery Making Workshop. This creative, hands-on experience teaches students how to craft unique jewellery using traditional African fabrics and bold patterns, while learning about the cultural meanings behind colours, prints, and adornment.

From earrings and bracelets to necklaces and fabric-wrapped beads, students will design and create their own wearable art inspired by Africa’s rich visual heritage.


🧵 What Students Will Explore:

  • Traditional and modern African textile prints (e.g. Ankara, Kente, Batik)

  • The cultural significance of jewellery and adornment across African societies

  • Jewellery-making techniques using safe, age-appropriate materials

  • Personal expression through colour, pattern, and design

Each student will create their own jewellery piece to take home—something meaningful, personal, and inspired by African artistry.
