You will have the opportunity to try different wrapping techniques in small groups with guidance from instructors. If you like, bring along any square-shaped piece of fabric, such as a scarf. Fabrics will also be available to borrow on site.

The workshop is suitable for anyone aged approximately 8 years and older. You may drop in at any time between 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., according to your own schedule. Trying out the techniques takes about 10–15 minutes.
