Sashiko Mending

  • Portland Japanese Garden 611 Southwest Kingston Avenue Portland, OR, 97205 United States (map)

Now famed worldwide for its striking traditional indigo-and-white color scheme and complex decorative patterns, sashiko’s utilitarian use as a mending technique is sometimes forgotten. In this workshop students will learn to mend well-loved items using beautiful and strong sashiko stitching. While fabrics will be provided, students can also bring their own textiles to mend such as jeans, flannel shirts, or hand towels.
