About this Event
Wrap it up, pour it out, and celebrate sustainably.
The holiday rush is real, but your prep work doesn't have to be stressful. Join us for Furoshiki & Flasks, a hands-on workshop where you’ll master Furoshiki—the traditional Japanese art of fabric wrapping—while enjoying sake. Ditch the single-use paper waste, learn a beautiful new skill, and get a head start on your holiday gifting.
What to Expect
Seasonal Sake Tasting: Discover the versatility of premium sake. You’ll explore distinct sake styles—while learning how it’s crafted and how to taste it.
The Art of Furoshiki: Dive into the elegant world of fabric wrapping. Using a single square of cloth and a few clever knots, you’ll learn how to transform ordinary objects into stunning, eco-friendly, reusable works of art.
Bring Your Own Gift: This is a hands-on workshop! Bring a small-to-medium item from home (like a book, a candle, or a bottle of wine) and we will guide you step-by-step through the folds and bows needed to wrap it flawlessly.
Completely beginner-friendly. No prior sake knowledge or crafting experience required. You’ll leave with a perfectly wrapped holiday gift, the confidence to wrap anything in fabric, and a brand-new appreciation for Japanese craft.
