Leap into the new year with Japan-inspired textile projects! Portland Japanese Garden is partnering with textile artisan Judilee Fitzhugh to provide workshops that will have its participants make charming pieces ranging from rabbit bags in honor of the Year of the Rabbit to leaf-printed notebooks.
Each workshop will run from 9:30am-4:00pm, which includes 6 hours of instruction and a 30-minute lunch break. Participation is limited to 20 students. Workshops are open to students of all levels of sewing abilities.
All tools and materials are included in the workshop fee. Coffee, tea, water, and light snacks will be served. Students should bring their own lunch and a water bottle. Students may bring a small sewing kit if desired.
Members and visitors love to visit Portland Japanese Garden’s koi that swim under the Zig Zag bridge or in the Lower Pond. Koi symbolize love and friendship in Japan because the word “koi” is a homonym for the Japanese word that means “affection” or “love.” Capture one of our beloved koi by “painting” with layers of fabric and a variety of hand embroidery stitches in this meditative workshop. Students will leave class with an enchanting postcard-sized koi of their very own.
