Chnese Pocket Booklets Workshop


These ingenious booklets are made by the needlewomen of the Miao, Dong and Yi tribes of Southwest China and are used to keep their thread, braids and patterns in. They make wonderful gifts -folded containers for small photos, keepsakes and mementos. We will make the five compartment version using a range of beautiful handmade papers. The project book ‘Folded Secrets’ by Ruth Smith will be available to purchase.

Sunday 11th October 2009 10am-4.30pm £48
