Description

This Sashiko workshop is led by Suzanne Strachan Sashiko is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery or stitching used for the decorative and/or functional reinforcement of cloth and clothing. Owing to the relatively cheap nature of white cotton thread and the abundant nature of cheap, indigo-dyed blue cloth in historical Japan, sashiko has a distinctive appearance of white-on-blue embroidery, though some decorative pieces may also use red thread. It utilises a simple running stitch to create patterns. Suzanne creates a relaxed atmosphere into which you can simply sink and enjoy. No prior experience is needed.
