Join us on Sunday, December 10th, from 10:30 -12 pm at Public Mercantile, 1804 Government St., Victoria, BC, for a hands-on experience in sustainable gift wrapping!
Learn the art of wrapping with reusable fabric for an eco-friendly holiday season. Fabric gift wrap not only adds a personal touch to your presents but also becomes a part of the gift itself—ready to be reused in creative ways!
🎨 Local artist Jennifer Playford, known for her vibrant original art which is printed onto her line of 100% cotton gift wraps, will guide you through the versatility and creativity of fabric wrapping. Discover how to transform fabric wraps into more than just gift adornments—think tablecloths, scarves, carry bags, travel wraps, hair accessories, and even in sewing projects or as tea towels.
Jennifer has had a rewarding career as an art director, illustrator and designer and has a passion for textile design and products that replace their disposable alternatives. In 2007, Jennifer launched her first line of reusable fabric gift wrap printed with her designs and wrote the book Wrapagami, the Art of Fabric Gift Wrap published by Macmillan, NYC. Some of her customers from 15 years ago are still using her wraps which is exactly as they were intended, to never be thrown out!
