Community, Creativity & Cotton: Dongara Denison Art Group's Custom Tea Towel Journey

At Expressions Tea Towels Australia, we’re constantly inspired by the incredible community-led projects that bring art and storytelling to life through our ethically made products. One standout collaboration? The stunning custom printed tea towels created by the Dongara Denison Art Group in Western Australia.

 

Art Meets Function: The Story Behind "Our Place"

The artwork, aptly named "Our Place", was developed for the Hard Pressed Project — a community arts initiative using large-scale wood block printing and steamrollers as presses. The result? A 1200mm x 900mm masterpiece that tells a vibrant, visual story of the Dongara coastline and river mouth.

From Print to Tea Towel

Following the exhibition, the group photographed the original piece and transformed it into a fundraising item — custom printed tea towels on natural cotton. With their first order selling out rapidly, the response was overwhelming. And it’s no surprise — the artwork blends the talents of six local artists into one iconic design that captures the spirit of their community.

Why Choose Custom Printed Tea Towels in Australia?

  • Perfect for fundraising and local events
  • Eco-friendly and ethically produced
  • Beautiful keepsakes that combine practicality with purpose

Our linen and organic cotton tea towels are printed in Australia using sustainable inks and offer generous print areas (up to 40cm x 60cm), making them ideal canvases for detailed artwork like "Our Place."

Supporting Regional Art & Culture

The funds raised by the Dongara Denison Art Group’s tea towel sales go towards rent, insurance, and exciting upcoming projects like a site-specific installation art trail along the Irwin River. This initiative has even received grant support from the Shire of Irwin.

We’re proud to be part of a journey that supports local talent, celebrates regional identity, and turns beautiful art into functional, meaningful merchandise.
