Design & Block Print Your Own Furoshiki Workshop With Little Rowan RedHead

Design and Block Print Your Own Furoshiki (Eco-Friendly Gift Wrap) with legendary visual artist and published author Little Rowan Redhead!

In this engaging workshop, you'll have the opportunity to learn the art of sustainable gift wrapping with Little Rowan Redhead and her Christmas workshop, "Eco-Friendly Gift Wrap: Design and Block Print Your Own Furoshiki." Furoshiki are traditional Japanese wrapping cloths traditionally used to wrap and/or to transport goods and gifts.
Throughout the class, you'll discover the traditional Japanese technique of Furoshiki and embrace sustainable art by designing, carving, and block printing your own reusable fabric wraps.

During the workshop, Little Rowan Redhead will guide you through the process, making sure even beginners can feel at ease and unleash their artistic talents. You'll learn how to design and carve unique rubber stamps and print your motifs onto fabric, creating not only stunning artworks but also practical and personalized gift wraps. These Furoshiki creations can be used for wrapping gifts, as tote bags, or even as decorative elements in your living space. Rowan will demonstrate several wrapping techniques and show you how to elevate your gift-giving this Christmas!

Not only will you learn the art of block printing and design, but you'll also have the chance to connect with like-minded individuals in a supportive and collaborative environment. Engage in discussions with fellow participants, delving into ideas for sustainable living and finding creative inspirations.

By the end of the workshop, you will leave with your own hand-printed Furoshiki wrap and any rubber stamps you carve, allowing you to continue your eco-friendly gift wrapping journey at home. Plus, to keep your creative energy flowing, you'll be treated to a delicious morning tea provided by Rebecca from Made by Me Workshop.

Cancellation Policy: Due to the limited number of spaces for workshops, all bookings are final and strictly non refundable. We do not refund classes but you are welcome to send someone else in your place if you can't make it on the day. Since Rowan is a special guest teacher it is not possible to reschedule the workshop to another day. In most of our workshops we require a minimum number of people to run the workshop and will do our absolute best to run every workshop we list but occasionally it is not commercially feasible to do so. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the class; in this case, we'll inform you and allow you to get a full refund or reschedule.
