Kinusaiga Workshop

Learn the Japanese handicraft
of Kinusaiga, a form of textile art, in this new half day workshop.

Kinusaiga
Is a form of textile art collage made by pressing fabric into a board, creating
A unique piece of wall art that resembles stained glass.

Tutor Bonita will guide you
to create your own design, or you can follow one of Bonita’s designs if you
prefer. You’ll then be shown how to transfer your design to the board and cut
your fabrics, before learning how to use a Kinusaiga tool to remove paper from
the board and add the fabrics. The final stage is to finish off and apply
Ribbon edging.

By
The end of the workshop you'll have a unique piece of wall art to keep or gift
And have the knowledge and skills to continue this beautiful craft at home.
