Discover the beautiful Japanese art of Kinusaiga, a relaxing no-sew technique that transforms fabric into stunning works of art. Using a pre-cut design, colorful fabrics, and simple tools, you’ll create a textured piece by tucking fabric into grooves. No sewing skills are required!
***If you aren’t able to make it by 5:30 pm (I know mid-week workshops and work schedules don’t always work well together), don’t let that stop you from signing up. If you make it by 6pm, you should be able to finish your piece still!
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn:
- The basics of Kinusaiga
- How to select and layer fabrics for depth and dimension
- Techniques for neatly tucking fabric into your design
- Create your abduction item (a cow if pictured – but maybe you’d like a cat, a person, a chicken, etc. – we’ll make it happen!!)
By the end of class, you’ll take home a completed Kinusaiga artwork ready to hang.
All materials and tools are included. This workshop is perfect for beginners as well as experienced crafters looking to explore a unique fiber art technique.
This is most certainly not a traditional design, very kitschy and some fun. If you are interested in a more traditional design check out the Kinusaiga workshop I’ll be offering at the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center in September. There you can choose from three different plant patterns.
