Choose your own stitching\u00a0adventure!<\/strong> Sashiko<\/em> is a Japanese mending and embroidery handwork skill that uses a simple running stitch to create bold and geometric patterns on textiles. With a focus on exploring the craft, workshop participants will learn how to create Sashiko patterns from start to finish: layout a grid, draw patterns with rulers & circles, use a Sashiko needle, and use “small stabs” to stitch designs onto their mini-patch samplers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sashiko<\/em> patterns are inspired by nature, architecture, and culture. Students will choose from a variety of patterns and motifs that suit their own design aesthetic and comfort level; tiny plus signs, woven tortoise, ocean waves, and seven treasures, to name a few. All skill levels are welcome, whether a novice stitcher or an experienced fiber artist! Everyone will work at their own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n Bring your good reading glasses,\u00a0water bottle, and snack to\u00a0sustain you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n All tools and materials are provided in a take-home class kit, plus access to communal supplies<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Rachel Barclay studied Textiles, Installation Sculpture, Printmaking, and Elementary Education in San Francisco and Long Beach, California.
