Natural dye a reusable giftwrap (furoshiki) with flowers for sustainable gifts!
FUROSHIKI
Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese technique of wrapping gifts and belongings in fabric. Instead of using disposable wrapping paper, a beautiful piece of cloth is folded and tied into a reusable gift wrap.
It's a thoughtful and sustainable way to give, reducing single-use paper and unnecessary waste. The fabric becomes part of the gift itself, ready to be reused, passed on and enjoyed again and again.
BUNDLE DYEING
Bundle dyeing creates soft, dreamy patterns and every piece is completely unique. With this technique we'll use dried flowers and natural pigments and bundle them in the fabric to directly "print" its colors onto your sustainable giftwrap.
We will explore:
- Which flowers and leaves release the strongest pigments
- How to arrange a design for layered, organic effects
-The transformation that happens when heat, time, and nature work together
At the end of the workshop, you will take home two natural dyed giftwraps (size S and M)
