Participants will engage in a hands-on experience, painting these patterns onto cloth as a form of cultural and personal expression, reflecting their own identity. The painted cloth can then be utilized as a Furoshiki, a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth, adding practicality to the artistic experience.
