About this Event
Visible Mending: an introduction to the art of Sashiko Stitching
Join Alison Bell from Free Range Fibre for a morning of stitching inspired by the Japanese art of Sashiko. This time-honoured form of embroidery can be both decorative and functional. We will take a tour of a variety of beautiful stitching patterns, practice simple stitches, learn how to mend, and complete a simple project using this beautiful technique. Sashiko is also very meditative and the process is often referred to as mindful mending.
Sashiko Workshop Intel...
Do I need to be an experienced embroiderer to take this workshop? No, this class is suitable for beginners and seasoned stitchers.
Do I need to bring anything? All materials are included, but feel free to bring a piece of clothing that needs mending and I can give you some guidance. You may like to bring a snack and water.
You can find me @freerangefibre on Instagram.
