Your Own AI T-Shirt: Creativity Meets High-Tech in Bayreuth

How does a portrait become a wearable design idea? In the workshop AI Meets Textile Design – Create Your Own T-Shirt!, children and teenagers aged 12 and older discover how artificial intelligence, vinyl cutters, and thermal transfer procedures merge to create a personal clothing item. In the end, an individual T-shirt with a self-designed motif is produced.

From Portrait to Creative Design Template

The focus is on the creative processing of one's own portrait with the help of artificial intelligence. Participants learn how a digital image can become a motif for textile printing. The open high-tech workshop provides an inspiring event atmosphere where experimenting, designing, and practical learning go hand in hand.

Cutting, Transferring, and Designing

After the digital design, the motif is cut out using a vinyl cutter. Participants then transfer the design onto their brought T-shirt using the thermal transfer method. Each step makes visible how an idea evolves into a real piece – from the first image editing to the finished textile design.
