SASHIKO & SHIBORI WORKSHOP with EMI FUJISAWA
Join Japanese textile artist Emi Fujisawa for a workshop in the two Japanese techniques Sashiko (stitching), and Shibori (resist dyeing), to make a very special tea towel from a vintage piece of cloth. You will transform the piece of cloth into a beautiful indigo dyed tea towel, with a special resist pattern of a flower or leaf — to bring home to your kitchen.
Sashiko is an old Japanese craft technique traditionally used to decorate clothing and homewares, and Shibori is a very inventive 1500 year old art technique. Apart from learning these techniques you will also be introduced to dyeing with indigo.
Tea will be served while you’re working away with your stitching.
