Book our hands-on gift wrapping event highlighting the art and sustainability of Japanese reusable fabric gift wrapping.
About the Furoshiki Gift Wrapping Workshop
Educate and inspire with a sustainable, creative twist by learning the art of gift wrapping using furoshiki, a traditional Japanese fabric wrapping method. Join Kansas City-based artist and print designer Keiko Kira, co-founder of Keiko Furoshiki Japanese gift wrap, in this immersive 1-hour workshop where participants will learn how to beautifully wrap any gift while embracing eco-friendly practices and this centuries-old Japanese art form.
Available through a pre-recorded session, a live webinar, or an in-person workshop in the greater Kansas City area, Keiko can deliver a customized workshop for your group.
If desired, purchase reusable furoshiki at a discount to mail or give to your workshop participants. They can use it during the session and take it home afterward.
