While Rachel DB believes in gifting all year round, the winter holidays allow an opportunity for increased intentionality to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle in surprisingly charming, vibrant, and often economical ways.

Part demonstration, part storytelling, and part hive-mind materials sourcing sesh: join fellow gift givers online for a Saturday session of Creative Gift Wrapping led by Rachel DB (Dominguez-Benner).

Rachel will demonstrate at least 2 simple printmaking techniques, refresh your view of approximately 4 household objects, and send you back into your creative life with too many ideas, just enough motivation and at least one actionable next step to make your gift wrapping adventures a little more delightful.

This class is free to attend and will provide techniques for a variety of skill levels and tool inventories. The intention is to offer principles of creative gift wrapping that participants can manifest at your own skill level and budget while aspiring to make incremental improvements.
