About this Event

In this engaging, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll explore kinusaiga (pronounced “key-new-sigh-ga”), a modern Japanese art form that transforms simple fabric scraps into stunning, textured works of art. By gently tucking fabric into pre-cut grooves on a foam board, you’ll create a richly layered design that resembles a fabric “painting” or quilt.

Relax, unwind, and tap into your creativity as you play with color, pattern, and texture. Whether you’re new to crafting or a seasoned maker, kinusaiga offers a meditative, hands-on experience with impressive results — think florals, landscapes, animals, or abstract designs, all brought to life with fabric.

In this workshop, you’ll learn the essentials — how to work with your template, choose and coordinate fabrics, and use simple tools to build your design piece by piece.

Your workshop ticket includes:

• A two-hour instructor-guided workshop
• A 6- by 6-inch floral pattern pre-cut onto a foam base;
• All tools and a large selection of fabrics
• A 6-inch square shadow box frame.

Join us for a relaxing activity and leave with one-of-a-kind, gallery-worthy piece, and a new creative skill you’ll love coming back to.
