THIS WORKSHOP IS NOW FULL. PLEASE RSVP FOR THE WAITING LIST
In 2023 we started to run some workshops with Huyen of Textile Linker fame. She teamed up with Thuy who founded Chie Dù Pù Dù Pà in Hang Trong street to run craft workshops. Huyen is busy with many of her own projects at the moment but we are starting to run workshops again with Chie.
This month we are making 3 quả còn which we link together. The workshop is designed for both advanced in sewing and less skilled. Quả còn is a fabric ball and stems from a traditional folk game of northwest highlands ethnic minorities. Chie will first explain about the origins and story behind this product.
For this workshop the quả còn are pre-sewn on most sides but we complete them by stuffing with cotton wall filing and sew up the last side. We learn to make the frabric ‘pompons’ to link the 3 balls together (harder than it seems) and attach them all together. The workshop is as easy or hard as you like. The the fabric pieces of the balls will be plain not patterened so we can embroider and/or sew on fabric shapes to create unique looking balls. or leave them plain Hence, its great for all levels.
The quả còn has significance for Tet so we can make them ready for the next lunar new year.
Min 5, very max 8 people for this workshop to run. Includes talk beforehand on an area relating to the crafts at Chie, herbal tea, green bean cake, instruction and materials
price for this workshop as more material and support needed – 390,000 VND per person (same price for everyone) depending on what we make
