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.
Celebrate the Garden’s beautiful foliage by making a leaf-printed book to take notes or share secrets. Attendees will use contact-printed papers dyed with real leaves along with a “Secret Belgian” binding technique to construct a 4 x 4” book with customized decorative stitching along the spine. Students are welcome to bring their own precious papers to use for accents. No previous bookbinding experience is required.
