Wrapped Sustainably: Furoshiki

What Furoshiki is a centuries-old Japanese technique for wrapping and carrying almost anything in a single square of cloth. There's no tape, no scissors and no bin bag full of torn paper at the end. Just a few folds and knots, and a gift that looks beautiful and can be unwrapped, reused and passed on. So what Much gift wrap can't be recycled, and it's often used for a few seconds before it's thrown away. Furoshiki flips that. The wrapping becomes part of the gift, something the person keeps and uses again. It's also a lovely skill to have in your hands: slow, tactile and satisfying, in a season that usually feels anything but. Now what In a small, relaxed group of 8, you'll learn four wraps: a classic box wrap a bottle wrap a book wrap a carry-bag knot you can use every day You'll practise on real objects, get hands-on help, and leave with the confidence to wrap anything you give. Why attend? This hour and a half is completely screen-free.

It's a small change that looks beautiful and lasts. What to bring: Feel free to bring a small gift or object you'd like to practise wrapping.
