SASHIKO WORKSHOP
Sunday, October 8, 2023
1 – 4pm
$58, includes afternoon tea
East of The Heights inside the loop, Houston, Texas
Join me for a relaxing meditative afternoon at my bungalow learning the textile craft of sashiko. Sashiko means ‘little stabs’ in Japanese. It was used in ancient times as a decorative way to mend textiles. Today it can function the same or be used as decorative embroidery. I practice sashiko and use cotton sashiko thread to hand quilt my quilts.
I have numerous sashiko patterns for you to choose from. You’ll work on a sampler and be given the option to baste it (top layer, batting, bottom later) and get that “quilt feeling.” I’ll also share a range of my work with you to get a sense of just how extensive the practice of sashiko can be.
We’ll pause to enjoy afternoon tea – including a homemade baked good.
If you have questions, send me a note at [email protected]
