Introduction to Sashiko and Visible Mending

This workshop has limited capacity to ensure focused instruction and tickets are first-come-first serve. ✨ All skill levels welcome

Discover the beauty of sashiko, a traditional Japanese stitching technique that blends utility with artistry. In this 2.5-hour hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how sashiko can be used not only to mend and preserve well-loved garments, but also to create new, handmade pieces full of texture, meaning, and intention.

Rooted in sustainability and slow fashion, sashiko and visible mending offer a mindful way to reconnect with our clothes and reduce waste while celebrating the value of craft. Whether you're patching a hole or planning a new project, you’ll leave with the skills to stitch with purpose and creativity.

Workshop includes:

• An overview of the history and significance of sashiko as an art.
• Direct instruction on 1-4 sashiko samples
• A beautiful hand-crafted sashiko kit that includes stencils, thread that has been hand-dyed with botanical dyes, small bow scissors, and a frixion erasable pen. $42 in value. See the photo above!
• 1 Drink ticket for one of the amazing mocktails or cocktails that Meander has to offer
