Last month, Muji hosted a series of virtual workshops offering tutorials from Canadian experts on varied topics like matcha lattes, calligraphy and floral arrangements. Designed in order to help audiences undertake inspiring and creative projects at home during quarantine, the Japanese retailer’s August slate of workshops includes watercolour botanicals, a bullet journaling tutorial and more.

Read on for the full lineup of virtual workshops, which will be hosted by Muji over Zoom. The workshops are free, but online registration is mandatory.

Introduction to Japanese Teas
Pedro Villalon of Vancouver’s O5 Rare Tea and Kombucha Bar returns this month to take viewers through the basics of Japanese tea. Touching on the handcrafting process, origin and flavour profile of three classic teas—a beautiful gyokuro from Yame, a bright green sencha from Kirishima, and a heartwarming, micro-milled hojicha—the workshop will also include a simple recipe that can easily be recreated at home. Details here. August 5, 7pm EST/4pm PST

Framed this watercolour paper cut piece for our front hallway today! Part of the fun of being a maker is always having something new to hang 😅 I love to switch up what’s on the wall! Are you like me, always changing your wall decor around? Or do you get things “just so” and then leave it? I suspect I’m in the minority here… and I’m so curious what others do! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #createifcreated #showyourwork #waketomake #alittlelightcommunity #opusartsupplies #opusdailypractice #vancouverletteringcommunity #vancouvercreatives #vancouverartist #calligrafriends #creativityeveryday #makesomethingeveryday #createsomethingeveryday #letteringart #moderncalligrapher #makersgonnamakeit #makersvillage #makersofinstagram #makerspace #calligraphylove #watercolorlettering #watercolourlettering #watercolorcalligraphy #makersbiz #creativespace #creativemornings #canadiancreatives #creativesofinstagram

August is sneaking up so quickly! I thought I still had some time to post my July spreads before revealing my August theme and cover, but August is here like two days! I will still post my remaining July spreads though, because there is one July spread that I am very happy with the end result 🙂 . But my August theme is garden/gardening! Maybe a little influenced by #acnh again, but I love flowers and gardening in animal crossing. Although often my flowers grow too wildly and I get overwhelmed and they just end up getting neglected… But regardless, I love flowers and I am romanticizing about having a garden of my own in real life lol. . Also shout out to @bujoescape for essentially giving me like 75% of the flowers in this game. I think without Kristie, I probably wouldn’t like gardening so much… SO this one is for you Kristie :p . . . . . . . #bujotheme #bujocoverpage #bujocover #bujomonthly #illustrationgram #aestheticart #minimalart #plannermonthly #bujospread #bujospreadideas #bujoideasrepost #bujoinspiration #bulletjournalinspo #bujojunkie #journalcommunity #bujogoals #aestheticjournal #bulletdaily #planner_daily #bujogram #bujoaugust #bujocanada #madeinyeg #madeinalberta #madeincanada #etsystickers #etsyplannerstickers #mujicanada
