Slow stitching, the meditative art of hand sewing, is a chance to relax and enjoy the rhythmic dance of needle and thread as we construct a Japanese-inspired mat or bag using new and vintage fabrics, basic sashiko stitching, and simple shapes. We’ll enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, a treat or two, and the company of like-minded souls.
“Boro” describes profusely stitched and mended Japanese textiles that receive an extended life with an abundance of functional but beautiful handwork. In this class, attendees will piece, patch, appliqué, and stitch a small cloth suitable for a table mat or personal tool bag.
Students are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. Coffee, tea, water and light snacks will be served.
Limit 8 students.
