WORKSHOP
🦋 THE MAGIC OF INTENTIONAL GIVING: ORISUE BOOKS & CREATIVE GIFT WRAPPING.
Join the group to be notified.
Hello there and welcome!
The Art of Giving is a Gent initiative exploring intentional giving as an act of respect, attention, and care.
The practice is inspired by Asian traditions in which the way something is offered carries as much meaning as the object itself. Through paper-based constructions, simple forms, and deliberate gestures, we explore how intention is expressed through restraint, precision, and presence. The ultimate use of these paper creations has no limits—from crafts to art.
A central part of the practice is reuse. We make use of paper and materials that would otherwise go to waste, such as packaging, offcuts, or overlooked everyday papers. By reworking what already exists, we shift focus away from consumption and toward attention, transformation, and meaning.
Activities will take the form of small, paid hands-on workshops announced periodically. Each workshop will focus on a specific concept or form, include materials, and be limited in size to allow for a calm and attentive working environment.
At this stage, the group exists to:
• share the philosophy behind intentional giving
• introduce the practice and its values
• announce upcoming events
Follow the group to stay informed about upcoming events.
Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you 🦋
