Yubinuki Workshop: Japanese Thimble Rings
Advertisement
Join local crafter Beth Battey for this unique workshop! Yubinuki translates literally to "thimble" in Japanese. It’s a soft and durable cloth thimble ring constructed of a paper or cardboard core wrapped in padding and stitched with colorful threads to create geometric designs. The stitching resembles a temari ball obi, but the creation and setup are not quite as labor-intensive.
This workshop will be held in the 1st-floor lobby at AADL Downtown.
This event is part of Ann Arbor Japan Week 2026, held in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library: https://aadl.org/node/668256
