SUMMARY:Sashiko Hand-Stitching Basics
DESCRIPTION:Sashiko Hand Stitching Workshop \nWith Rachel Barclay\nAll Skill Levels Welcome!\nPRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED – MUST REGISTER BY MARCH 21\, 2026 \nSashiko is a Japanese mending and embroidery handwork skill which uses a simple running stitch to create bold and geometric patterns on textiles. The stitching tradition has been used for centuries in Japan\, and continues globally\, as a contemporary needlework practice to mend\, patch\, strengthen\, quilt\, and embellish garments or home goods for longevity and beauty. With focus on exploration of the craft\, workshop participants will learn how to handle thread\, layout a grid\, draw patterns\, employ a Sashiko needle\, and use “small stabs” to stitch designs onto their mini-patch samplers. \nSashiko patterns are inspired by nature\, architecture\, and culture. Students will choose from a variety of motifs that suit their design aesthetic and comfort level; tiny plus signs\, woven tortoise\, ocean waves\, and seven treasures to name a few. The stitched squares can later be transformed into purposeful\, small goods such as a pocket\, pin cushion\, patch\, sachet\, or coaster. \nAll skill levels are welcome whether a novice stitcher or experienced fiber artist! Everyone will work at their own pace. Bring your good reading glasses! There will be a break halfway through the workshop. Feel free to bring snacks or a lunch and beverage. \nWorkshop Fee……………….…………$80 \nMember Fee..….……………………….$70/$60 (Tiered Pricing) \nCard to Culture Member Fee………….$40 \nYouth (9th – 12th Grade)* Material Fee..$25 \n*Please Note: High School students under 16 must be accompanied by an adult \n( *** Snow Date: March 29th ***) \nRegister\nLearn More about becoming a member
