About this Event
This Kinusaiga Cardinal Workshop is designed to be beginner-friendly, requiring no sewing or previous experience. In this class you’ll learn the relaxing and satisfying magic of scoring, trimming, and tucking fabrics to bring a vibrant red cardinal to life.
The Northern Cardinal is widely regarded as a symbol of hope, love, and sweet remembrance. Your finished piece will make for the perfect seasonal decor for your home, or can be given as a deeply meaningful handmade gift.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to transfer an image to the foam base through scoring techniques using a craft knife.
- Tucking, tensioning, and corner-clipping techniques using simple tools like a seam ripper and scissors.
- How to cut out the pieces in fabric, and how to strategically place the fabrics for visual appeal.
About Kinusaiga:
- It is pronounced "kee-new-sigh-gah".
- This art form was created in Japan in the 1980's by artist Maeno Takashi.
- The philosophy of this art form was intended to cultivate resourcefulness by turning leftover silk or cotton kimono scraps into art.

Children who are not participating in scoring will need the "Pre-Cut" add-on at checkout, and will be given a mini craft to do while the rest of the class is scoring their designs. (Scoring is when we cut the design into the foam base for the fabric to be tucked into).

While The CLC is instructing this class, the Old Dog Alehouse & Brewery will be our gracious host for the evening. They offer a diverse, farm-to-table pub-fare and comfort food menu that pairs well with their house-brewed craft beers. Please feel free to order drinks, snacks or dinner before, during or after the class. Handwipes will be available so you can simultaneously enjoy working on your craft if you are also eating.
Class will start promptly at 5:30 PM and last about 2 hours in duration. Please reserve your spot ahead of time through EventBrite. Any child under 18 who participates will be the responsibility of the parent or guardian, and will require their supervision.
