Details
Relax with me as I introduce you to the relaxing art of Sashiko embroidery. You’ll enjoy tea, coffee and treats as you learn with materials to keep. Originating as a Japanese method of clothing repair, this mindful technique can be used to decorate any fabric. We will be learning to stitch on a more traditional indigo cotton linen using high quality Sashiko thread and needles. By the end of this session, you’ll have created a sampler of three stitches and learned how to draw your own starting grid. No experience is needed to enjoy this activity.
This is an easy and relaxing activity for adults but children 14+ are very welcome when accompanied by a guardian.
Age 14+
