Chinese New Year Red Envelope Workshop

Workshops

All our workshops are designed to offer you high-quality instruction and information in a relaxed and friendly setting. Ideas can be discussed and projects undertaken gradually at the pace of the student. Small group sizes and an informal atmosphere mean that you can learn from practice, observation, and discussion with other students. Workshops are held in our shop’s studio space, unless otherwise specified. Check back often for event dates and schedules. WE ARE 1976 loves to collaborate with artists, schools, art clubs, and other organizations for workshops. Please contact us for more information.

In case you don't know already, Chinese New Year falls on Monday, January 23rd
this year. One of the most basic and generous traditions is the giving and receiving
of Red Envelopes from the older generation to the younger generation filled with
"lucky money" which signifies prosperity for the new year. So, we thought it would
be a fun way to start the new year with a workshop for making your own red envelopes
and lucky money.

Please join us on Saturday, Jan 21st 2012 at 11am for our Red Envelope Workshop.
We'll provide all materials and supplies, including a wooden Japanese envelope template
and cow bone folder (that you can take home afterwards), a screenprinting station with
pre-burned designs that you can use to decorate your envelope, and a quick lesson on
how to fold an origami heart to fill the envelope. As usual, we'll have some light munchies
and drinkies. So, come out and hang with us and make some fun presents for Chinese
New Year.
