Sashiko, meaning ‘little stab’, is the Japanese art of stitching beautiful patterns using running stitch, often used to add decorative and/or reinforcement, texture & warmth to cloth or old garments. In this workshop, you will learn both the history & cultural background of Sashiko, as well as learn all the basic techniques & principle of the embroidery style, so you will be able to continue your practice at home.
