Where Two Traditions Meet — Sashiko Embroidery & Afternoon Tea Experience.

Some afternoons stay with you for years.

Not because something extraordinary happened — but because for a few hours, nothing did. No pings. No scrolling. No half-attention. Just your hands, a needle, and a room that felt like it existed outside of time.

This is one of those afternoons.

The Experience

You arrive at The Wellington Room. Champagne is poured. The table is dressed with fine pastries, Japanese thread in curated tones, and everything you need for an afternoon of unhurried making.

You are here to learn Sashiko — a centuries-old Japanese embroidery tradition built on a single running stitch, repeated into something quietly beautiful. It requires no experience. No artistic ability. Only your hands and the willingness to slow down.

For three hours, the city outside continues. In here, it doesn't.

What Awaits You

✦ Champagne on arrival at one of Dublin's finest addresses

✦ The full Merrion Art Afternoon Tea — pastries, scones, finger sandwiches

✦ All premium Sashiko materials — needle, thread, geometric template, fabric

✦ Three hours of guided making — for complete beginners

✦ A finished hand-stitched piece, yours to keep always

✦ The Wellington Room, exclusive to our group for the afternoon

This afternoon is calling to you if…

You are protective of your Saturdays and spend them on things that actually matter.

You have been meaning to make something with your hands for longer than you can remember.

You want an afternoon of real conversation with interesting women — not a class, not a networking event, just a room where presence is the whole point.

You have never tried embroidery in your life — which is exactly why this will surprise you.
