Ocean-themed Kinusaiga Workshop 2

Kinusaiga (きぬさいが), often referred to as "Japanese silk painting" or "scrap patchwork," is a contemporary Japanese craft created in the 1980s by artist Maeno Takashi. It involves creating intricate images—such as landscapes or flowers—by pressing small scraps of fabric into pre-cut grooves on a backing material, typically wood or foam board. Because no sewing or glue is used to secure the pieces, the technique is highly valued for its clean, seamless appearance and its ability to repurpose leftover material.

Join us as we transform thrifted fabrics into unique artworks using this intriguing and addictive technique.

All equipment, patterns, instructions and curated fabrics provided. The theme of this workshop is OCEANS, however after learning the basics of Kinusaiga design, you can choose to draw your own in any style you wish.
