Craft workshop a.m: ethnic minority textile cat and tiger craft workshop

In 2023 we started collaborating with Chie on ethnic minority fabric craft workshops making something traditional and/or elated to etchnic minorities – all are products that are sold in Chie. Its now 3 years and we have probably made everything that is feasible to make in a few hours workshop so we are repeating some items again that we made 1-2 years ago.

This month we are making 2 little textile animals – a cat and a tiger. This workshop is suitable for both advanced and the less skilled but may be a bit more fiddly than others.  The items are small, the bodies are pre-sewn and we stuff them with cotton, sewing the last section by hand, we make and sew on  the faces and add the facial features of eyes, noses, whiskers etc. They are such cute little animals.

These 2 animals feature in the Vietnamese animal zodiac in the following order

rat, buffalo, tiger, cat, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.

The Tiger – Hổ.  The Tiger is powerful and captivating, rebellious and passionate.  Devoted to family never complaining, hard working and intelligent.

The Cat – Mèo.  The cat (in Vietnam) replaces the rabbit (in the Chinese calendar). The Cat is creative, cautious and conservative.  Talented and ambitious but prone mood swings.

Numbers – Min 5, very max 10 people for this workshop to run.

Amount – VND 390,000 pp, includes instruction, all materials, herbal tea, and green bean cake. and 2 animals each (1 cat , 1 tiger).
