Soft Lines in Color: Shibori & Natural Dye Workshop

In this hands-on workshop, we work with stitched Shibori techniques and immersion dyeing using natural color. This class is designed for beginners and for anyone who enjoys working with quiet, tactile processes.

You’ll begin by learning a few simple resist structures—small running stitches, guided folds, or a stitched circle—each one accessible and easy to complete within our workshop time. We’ll work on prepared linen squares, using thread to gather and shape the cloth before dyeing.

Sashiko for Stillness: Japanese Hand-Stitching

Sashiko is a centuries-old Japanese stitching practice rooted in repair, resilience, and the quiet beauty of repeated lines. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the foundations of Sashiko — from marking simple geometric patterns to learning the traditional running-stitch technique that moves rhythmically through cloth.

Using natural fabrics and high-quality Sashiko threads, you’ll create a small stitched sampler or begin a visible-mending piece that reflects both tradition and your own hand. No sewing experience is needed — just a willingness to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the meditative nature of needle and thread.
