First Nations Design Story

Kate Claringbould — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 07:37:22 +0000

In 2025, Claire Stronge (Our Grants Coordinator) championed the cause to find an indigenous design artist, and create a story that could be depicted on our training & coaches tops.

Teagan is a Kamilaroi designer, digital illustrator, and founder of Studio Tea. After a decade in Melbourne, Teagan and her family have settled on the Surf Coast of Victoria, now calling Wadawurrung Country home.

Through Studio Tea, Teagan creates playful, bold and vibrant vector designs inspired by Country, culture and community.

“I’m passionate about sharing stories that speak to the lived experiences of First Nations people today, and what it means to me to be Aboriginal at this time and place. If my work inspires, challenges and connects people, I feel proud.”

Through a collaborative process between the Panthers and Teagan, the club sought to create a respectful, inclusive, and timeless design that our present and future club member families would be proud to wear, representing and honouring elements of Country and our club’s community.

Our 2026 & beyond training tops…

The flowing lines have been used to acknowledge the club’s connection to Country and represent the Birrarung (Yarra River), which nourishes and connects Taungurung, Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boonwurrung Country. Eltham and Templestowe are rich in native fauna, many of which are now endangered. Throughout the design, possum, bird, and kangaroo tracks have been included; the presence of these reflects the diverse, complex and reciprocal nature of Country, and reminds us of our responsibility in its continuous care. Featured in the design is the Eltham Copper Butterfly, a species found exclusively in Victoria and protected locally. Once thought to be extinct, it was rediscovered in Eltham in 1986. Its inclusion is a powerful symbol of resilience, strength and determination reflecting many of the Eltham Panthers Netball Club’s values.

A recurring circular motif is found throughout the artwork. This symbol was developed to represent gathering, connection, community and growth, values that are sacred to the heart of the Eltham Panthers Netball Club. Seven players are positioned within the circle, representing the teamwork and trust required for success on the court.
