Sashiko Embroidery

Mandy Allport will deliver this ‘Japanese experience’ workshop where you will not only learn the skills of Sashiko but also be immersed in the values and culture of Japan in a stunning sensory workshop.

Choose 3 designs from an extensive library and be taught the practise and different methods of application. Mandy will demonstrate how to add sashiko to clothing items and show you different methods for repairing.

Includes materials for 3 sample pieces including all threads and needles, plus a tote bag for taking home to continue your craft.

The craft of sashiko can be a great way to creatively mend and repair clothing, while also being a mindful practice. You will leave with Sashiko skills to apply to your own clothes or items such as tote bags, make up purses, cushions or tableware.
