• explore different styles of creating graphic patterns on the fabric through folding, clamping or binding
• we will cover AT LEAST 4 major fold styles - Stripes, Grids, Kikko (hexagons) and Radial (flower and star shapes)
• we will present many different ways to fold, tie and use the wrapping cloths as a beautiful gift wrappig
• practice using your cloth as a wrapping for gifts between the sizes of a baseball to a shoebox - works great for bottles of wine - or even indigo dye kits :)
