BOTANICAL FUROSHIKI HUGGED BREAD WORKSHOP

A Sensory Journey Through Colour, Craft, and Nourishment 🌿🍞✨

Immerse yourself in the beauty of natural dyeing and the art of bread making in this unique, two-part workshop. Together with Alexandra Mitsiou, we invite you to slow down and connect with nature’s elements—transforming plants into vibrant furoshiki wraps and simple ingredients into nourishing botanical bread. Through ancient techniques and mindful craftsmanship, we’ll celebrate the harmony between textiles, food, and tradition. Leave with a beautifully dyed fabric, a freshly baked loaf, and a deeper appreciation for the rituals that sustain us.
