Community Art Class: Sashiko for Beginners

Step into the world of Sashiko, a traditional Japanese hand-stitching technique that blends beauty with utility. In this immersive 2-hour workshop, you’ll explore the origins and purpose of Sashiko stitching, learn about the essential tools and materials, and practice three foundational Sashiko stitches under the expert guidance of Maria Brown.

Maria is a seasoned dressmaker and designer known for her thoughtful approach to sewing instruction, her commitment to natural fiber fabrics, and her passion for zero-waste design. Her classes are welcoming, supportive, and designed to empower students at every stage of their sewing journey.

Whether you’re new to needlework or looking to expand your skills, this class offers a perfect introduction to Sashiko. You’ll leave with your own stitched sampler and the confidence to continue exploring this beautiful craft.
