Furoshiki (Japanese Gift-Wrapping) for Adults
December 12, 2024 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Discover the art of gift-wrapping and accessorizing using furoshiki – Japanese wrapping cloths. Join multi-talented international artist Nefertiti San Miguel from Etnia Fusion (Boston) to learn this singular technique just in time for the holiday season.
Each participant will use existing materials already available around the house demonstrating the concept of mottainai (expression of regret for wastefulness) by upcycling leftover fabrics. Spark your creativity by gracefully swathing items of different sizes (small and medium) in ordinary and unique shapes, such as hexagon boxes, glass bottles, books, picture frames and more. Master the presentation of elegantly-wrapped gifts for any occasion and amaze your loved ones with the artistic form and function of one magical square of cloth.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Nefertiti will teach master-class style.
Materials will be provided to practice in class. Participants may also bring small gifts of their own to be wrapped (e.g. book, wine bottle, picture frame, etc.)
No prior experience is necessary.
Sponsored by the Friends of the J.V. Fletcher Library.
Presented by:
Nefertiti San Miguel
