    Event description

    Make your own Japanese Sashiko Pin Cushion


    About the workshop:

    Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery style which dates back to the Edo period (1615-1868). There are five main types of Sashiko, which follow geometric patterns. In this workshop Maoko will take you through the process step-by-step and reveal the stories behind sashiko and constructing a pin cushion using Japanese materials. Come and enjoy the quiet moment of having nothing in your mind, but to simply stitch and find the result of a beautiful pattern called Komezashi (Rice Stitch).

    About the artist:
     Maoko Carroll is a Japanese sewer and artisan. Born and raised in Yokohama, Japan, she learnt sewing and mending skills from an early age, watching her mother sew and knit. Her mother made all Maoko’s jumpers and dresses, which meant that she grew up surrounded by old and new materials, colourful fabrics, threads and buttons. She has run many workshops in partnership with Space2b Social Design and runs a regular sewing and mending circle at Space2b in St Kilda.

    All materials are provided.

    This is an Adults only workshop.
