What to expect

Pusô has been a part of Cebuano culture from precolonial times to the present day. It’s a compact and portable food staple that involves boiling rice wrapped in young coconut leaves, known as “lukay”.

This pusô weaving workshop is an interactive experience for all ages and skill levels! In a step-by-step process, we'll show you how to twist and loop until you’ve woven your own pusô. Instead of palm fronds, we will use a colorful, comfortable alternative: felt strips.

By the end of the workshop, you will have the skills to create pusô at home.

Do take note that this is a crafting activity, not a cooking class. Each participant also receives a free drink! You may also purchase pastries from our cafe, The Tea & Gallery.
