About My Gifted Friend
My Gifted Friend brings traditional Asian crafts into contemporary everyday life through objects, workshops and creative experiences.
We explore how heritage techniques can be reimagined in ways that feel modern, playful and accessible to everyone. Our workshops have welcomed participants from around the world, creating a space to slow down, make with your hands, meet new people and discover the joy of creating something uniquely your own.
Everyone is gifted, and everyday life is the best gift.
Hope to see you soon, my gifted friends.
