🎨 Creative Fun 🌱 Eco-Friendly Skills 👩‍🏫 Inspiring Instructors 🤝 Community Connection

Join us for a hands-on workshop that’s all about creativity with a purpose—reducing waste during the festive season.

Discover how to create beautiful, zero-waste gift wrapping and Christmas bonbons, then learn the elegant art of Furoshiki—traditional Japanese fabric wrapping that uses no tape or paper, just pure style.

You'll also explore Shibori indigo dyeing and simple block printing techniques to create your own unique, sustainable fabric wraps.

This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to cut down on waste while still giving thoughtfully wrapped, beautiful gifts. Walk away with handmade creations, new skills, and practical ways to reduce your environmental impact.

If you have any fabric to reuse, please bring it along.


We are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible event environment for all attendees. If you have accessibility or inclusion requirements regarding this event, please contact us about how we can help on 9433 3711

Nillumbik Council & Edendale Farm put on a lovely workshop. I loved learning shibori techniques from Annie & the set up outside was perfect for the balmy evening we had. Thanks for a really wonderful evening 😊

Loved this experience. Not only did I learn how to make something beautiful and practical I also learnt how to be a bit more sustainable. The facilitators were lovely and so helpful. And it was so lovely to connect with others in my community.
