What you can expect

Begin your experience with a brief history of Sashiko, followed by a demonstration of basic stitches. Then, practice these techniques on your craft, creating a piece that reflects both your creativity and this centuries-old art.

The workshop takes place in a historic Kyoto building in an active artist district, providing a focused environment where you can work on stitching while observing local artists.

By the end of the workshop, you will leave with a handmade Sashiko momento, a deeper understanding of Japanese culture, and the knowledge to continue exploring Sashiko on your own. If you enjoy the craft, browse the studio’s carefully selected Sashiko goods on display, including sewing kits, hand-dyed threads, and clothing, with discounts available for cash purchases.
