Workshop description

Supplies fee: $12

Curious about sashiko? This beginner-friendly class is the perfect place to start. Sashiko is a traditional Japanese hand-stitching practice rooted in usefulness, repair, and quiet beauty.

Amy will guide you step by step through the foundational techniques of sashiko, teaching you the rhythm and structure that make this practice both calming and visually striking. You’ll learn three classic sashiko patterns, along with how to measure, mark, and draw patterns, so you can confidently create your own designs long after class ends.

No prior experience is needed. This is a slow, supportive space where questions are welcome, hands stay busy, and time softens as the needle finds its flow.

Beginner friendly • All supplies will be provided
