As we head into the holiday and gift-giving season, consider a new way to reduce waste and wrap your gifts. Furoshiki (風呂敷) is a square piece of cloth that has traditionally been used for wrapping gifts in Japan. It’s not only for gift wrapping but is also commonly used for carrying items instead of bags. Since it’s fabric, there’s no need to tear or throw it away after receiving a Furoshiki-wrapped gift. So, how will you use it? During this workshop, we’ll show you basic gift wrapping with Furoshiki, along with other practical methods you can use in your daily life. Share them with your recipients to keep things sustainable! Please join us at the Munroe Center for the Arts for this workshop made possible by the Cary Library Foundation. Space is limited. Registration required. Munroe Center for the Arts
