Furoshiki - Hand Printed Fabric Gift Wrap Workshop

Join us for a festive printmaking workshop with artist Paul Simm at Merseyway Workshop. Paul will teach you to carve a lino block and stamp your design and patterns onto a reclaimed square of fabric. While these are drying, you'll explore one or two Furoshiki wrapping techniques. Furoshiki (風呂敷) are traditional Japanese wrapping cloths used to wrap and transport goods. Add a personal, eco-friendly touch to your gift wrapping and learn a new creative skill to take home - a gift that just keeps on giving!

• Beginner - This course is for ages 16+ only.

Techniques You Will Explore

Lino block carving, printmaking, furushiki folding.

Materials Provided

• Everything

What to bring

• Relaxed clothing that you don't mind getting a little messy. Bring your own apron if you have one.

Transport

• We are within a short walk from Stockport train and bus station. Parking is available at the Merseyway Shopping Centre NCP.

Refunds and Booking Terms

• Workshop and course bookings can be cancelled and refunded up until 7 days before the scheduled start date. As the workshop fees part support the work we do for as a non-for-profit, and because materials and equipment are ordered in advance, we regret that refunds cannot be offered less than 7 days before the workshop date.

• Unfortunately we cannot offer part refunds if you miss a session or are unable to attend!
