FAQ - Furoshiki Workshops

How long is the workshop?

Standard sessions are 60 or 90 minutes. Shorter or longer formats are available on request. For larger guest counts, I can run multiple shorter sessions back-to-back.

What group size works best?

Typical group size is 6-12 guests per session. For larger events, I'll recommend a session plan based on guest flow and available space.

Do you offer a drop-in "station" format for events?

Yes. I can run a Furoshiki wrapping station for launches, parties, and guest experiences, with guests joining in waves.

Do you travel?

Yes. London Zones 1-2 are included. Travel to Zones 3-6 and outside London is quoted based on location and timings.

What's included?

You can choose from three options:

  • Workshop only
  • Workshop + Furoshiki cloth (per guest)
  • Workshop + Furoshiki cloth + book gift set (per guest)

Can guests keep the Furoshiki cloth?

Yes - when a Furoshiki-included option is selected, guests keep their cloth.

What will guests learn/take away?

Guests learn 2-3 signature wraps, key knots and finishing techniques, and how to wrap with intention, elegance, and minimal waste.

Can you pre-wrap gifts or goodie bags in advance?

Yes. Pre-wrapping can be quoted as an add-on, ideal for concierge gifting, VIP moments, and brand launches.

Do you provide items to wrap, or should guests bring something?

Either works. I can advise what guests should bring or provide practice items, depending on the format.

Can you tailor to our brand/event theme?

Yes. Workshops can be tailored to your event concept, gifting purpose, colour palette, and desired level of formality.

Can you accommodate larger guest counts?

Yes. Via timed sessions, a station format, and (where appropriate) an assistant-supported setup.

Do you offer invoices/PO process?

Yes. I can provide a formal quote, invoice, and PO-friendly documentation if required.

How far in advance should we book?

Minimum 14 days' notice (subject to availability). One month or more is ideal, especially for larger events or bespoke requirements.
