Dublin has no shortage of great places to eat and drink, but it’s often the experiences in between that make a date feel more memorable. If you're on the hunt for a unique and fun date activity in Dublin City that feels more personal, a creative experience might be exactly what you're after, especially with Valentine's Day coming up.
Our JANDO Print Workshops offer couples a chance to slow down, get hands-on and create something special together. Swap sitting across a table for learning something new together. You’ll be chatting, collaborating and switching off from the outside world - making creative workshops some of the best, new date activities in Dublin for couples who want something a little different.
At a JANDO Print Workshop you will:
- Learn the basics of screen printing in a 2 hour, beginner friendly session.
- Pull your very own JANDO landmark print.
- Leave with physical keepsakes that you made together.
Our workshops are run by Julie and are kept small and intimate, with a maximum of 12 people per session. Everyone has their own print station, so you’ll learn by actually making your own prints. There’s also the option to have your artwork professionally framed on the day, so your prints go from our workshop to your walls.
The workshops take place in our working studio at The Chocolate Factory, right in the city centre, making it easy to turn your session into a full day or night out. Dublin 1 is packed with some great spots, whether you want to keep things casual or make it a proper Valentine's date. Start with coffee at Bla’s Café and after your workshop you can grab a cosy pint in The King’s Inn or maybe head for some super tasty food in BoCo or Krewe, and finish the day off with a few epic cocktails at 1661.
Whether you’re planning a big Valentine’s date in Dublin or just looking for a new date idea to try as a couple, a screen print workshop is a lovely way to spend time together.
Screen Print Workshops are available every week throughout February, including Valentine's Day weekend, with up to three sessions a day so it's easy to find a time that fits around your schedule. View the full calendar of workshops here.
If Valentine's weekend itself doesn't suit, JANDO Print Workshop gift cards are a thoughtful alternative. They can be redeemed at a later date and make a lovely experience-led gift for anyone who prefers making memories over a cheesy gift.
