What if your gift wrapping was just as special as the gift itself?
Discover the beautiful Japanese tradition of Furoshiki, the art of wrapping and carrying items using a simple square of fabric. With just a few clever folds and knots, you can transform a piece of cloth into elegant gift wrapping, a practical carrier or a thoughtful finishing touch for almost any occasion. No scissors, sticky tape or disposable wrapping paper needed!
In this fun, beginner-friendly online workshop, we'll explore the history and cultural significance of Furoshiki, including its connection to the Japanese philosophy of mottainai: a respect for resources and a reluctance to waste things that still have value.
Then it's time to get hands-on! I'll guide you through three versatile wrapping techniques and show you how to wrap objects of different shapes and sizes, from books and bento boxes to round objects and wine bottles.
Whether you're preparing a thoughtful present, bringing a bottle of wine to dinner, or looking for creative ways to reuse your scarf in everyday life, you'll leave with practical skills and plenty of inspiration to wrap things a little differently.

  • Corporate teams looking for an engaging cultural activity that combines creativity, cultural awareness, and sustainability.

I’ve loved making things with my hands for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I’d transform my grandma’s scrap fabric into runway-ready Barbie outfits or patched up my little cousin’s torn trousers with an embroidered elephant patch. Growing up in Asia, where care, repair, and mending is common practice, I came to appreciate the deep heritage of traditional craftsmanship and sustainability passed down through generations. A broken piece that’s lovingly repaired and embellished carries more story, personality, and resilience; it’s the imperfection that makes it more beautiful.
After learning about the devastating impact of the fashion industry on the planet and human health, I dedicated my study and work to sustainability. After an MA in Environmental Management from Yale, couture training in Argentina, and 8 years of sustainability consulting across the U.S. and the Netherlands, I realized that people rarely change their mindset because of a corporate strategy deck or sustainability campaign. They change because they feel something. When someone experiences the joy of turning “waste” into something wonderful with their own hands, imagination opens far faster than logic ever could.
That insight become crystal clear through my work as co-founder of Repair Café Oud-Noord Amsterdam, where I’ve been teaching local residents to repair damaged textiles since 2022. Our work was featured in the Japanese documentary "The Repair Café" by Masato Sezawa, which went on to inspire the repair movement across Japan—demonstrating how a grassroots, hands-on approach to sustainability can ripple outward and spark meaningful change at a global scale.
That realization led me to start SnailBlazer, a sustainability and cross-cultural education organization. Like a trailblazer—but at a slower and more intentional pace—SnailBlazer invites people into a world where sustainability feels playful, cultural exchange feels natural, and creativity brings people together. Through workshops in textile upcycling, embroidery, crochet, macramé, and origami, I create spaces where people can take a pause, reconnect with their hands, their hearts, and each other. If you’re excited to play like a kid again, I’d love to welcome you into the SnailBlazer community —one mindful stitch at a time.
