A Verb for Keeping Warm
Introduction to Hand-Sewing and Sashiko Embroidery with Lena Wolff
Date
In this introductory workshop taught by Bay Area artist Lena Wolff, participants learn the techniques, materials, and methods of Sashiko, a meditative form of embroidery that draws from a lexicon of lyrical and geometric patterns that developed in Japan in the mid-1600’s.
Together we’ll make a pair of indigo-dyed coasters embellished with sashiko embroidery. A brief history and the basic principles of Sashiko will be introduced, including an array of stitches and how to read and draft patterns onto fabric hand with ease. Reference material will be given to all students as fodder to springboard future projects to embellish clothing, quilts, or other home textiles. This workshop is suitable for experienced sewists or beginners alike.
