CRAFTSMANSHIP, RECYCLING AND THE USE OF MATERIALS

Workshop Sashiko

Focus on recycling, experimentation, embroidery and the use of materials

The traditional Sashiko technique shows that darning and repairing clothes is the new chic.
With this Japanese technique torn or worn fabrics are repaired using various types of embroidery stitching. The main goal of Sashiko is to repair fabrics affected by wear and tear, but the resulting patterns also create a new aesthetic.
During this workshop, students try out this technique themselves and can even bring their own worn clothes, bags and/or other pieces of fabric to work on. Craftsmanship, recycling and the use of materials are also themes of this workshop.
