History of Sashiko
Sashiko, which translates to "little stabs" in Japanese, has a deep-rooted history dating back to the Edo period (1603-1868). Originally, it was developed as a practical method for reinforcing and insulating clothing, particularly among rural communities in Japan. Over time, what began as a utilitarian craft evolved into a celebrated art form, with each region in Japan developing its own distinctive patterns and motifs.

During this immersive workshop, you will be introduced to the fundamental techniques of Sashiko. Under the guidance of experienced instructor Jun, you'll learn how to create precise, geometric stitches on fabric.

The workshop is designed to be both educational and enjoyable, providing a relaxed environment where you can explore your creativity.
Takeaways
