About this Event
Join us Sunday, October 18th for a hands-on Kinusaiga workshop taught by local fiber artist Mary Turpin.
Kinusaiga is a traditional Japanese no-sew craft where fabric scraps are pressed into grooves on a backing to create intricate, mosaic-like images. It originated as a way to recycle old, beautiful kimono silk. Today, it is widely popular as a relaxing, eco-friendly way to make textured art.
Participants will create a panel suitable for framing using the Japanese Kinusauga technique. Pattern choice of landscape, silhouette, cat or dog.
All experience levels are welcome. The result of Kinusaiga are exceptional but learning the craft is surprisingly easy.
