Create Your Own T-shirt Brand workshop West Gate School

We recently had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with West Gate School through the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP) on our hands-on workshop - “Create Your Own T-Shirt Brand.”

The goal of the workshop was to give students a taste of what it’s like to build a brand from the ground up—combining creativity with entrepreneurship. Over the course of the sessions, we walked through every major stage of launching a t-shirt brand, from the initial concept all the way to holding the final garment in hand.

We covered Branding, Business Planning, Designing, Marketing with the highlight for many was producing the final garment. Seeing their ideas come to life as actual, wearable t-shirts brought a real sense of achievement. It was a tangible reward for all their hard work and creativity.

To top it off, students had the chance to visit a local garment manufacturer The T-shirt Guy LTD. This behind-the-scenes look at the production process gave them valuable insight into how the fashion industry works—taking their understanding from theoretical to practical.

We’re incredibly proud of what the students achieved, and we’re excited to see where their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit will take them next.
