Furoshiki Gift Wrapping Workshop

Instructed by Keiko Kira

Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth used to wrap gifts and everyday objects for transportation. Furoshiki originated in Japan, and was originally used to wrap and transport clothes to the public baths — or furo.

Keiko uses recycled polyester furoshiki that are a beautiful, fun, and sustainable alternative to disposable wrapping paper. With multiple uses beyond gift wrapping, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Learn to wrap, tie, and repurpose a furoshiki in this informative and fun workshop.
