IN PERSON: Hana fukin are beautiful and functional traditional Japanese cloths meant for use in the kitchen. Using sashiko, a form of decorative embroidery, we will stitch our double-sided hana fukin samplers during class. Along the way, the instructor will share some of the history of this special handwork. Students will learn how to draw traditional patterns using a preprinted grid. Students may sample several sashiko threads to learn how thread weight and color affect the patterns. Students will also learn knotless techniques and how to choose the best technique for the pattern. Any stitching not finished during class time can be completed in between sessions. Later in the course, prep work will be assigned to make the most of our in-person class. Returning students can work with the instructor to create their own sampler or piece. All levels welcome. | Active Skill Learning.
Max enrollment: 15.
