Take a break in your busy weekend to “Stop and Stitch”.
Sashiko is a beautiful old form of embroidery from Japan and a wonderful introduction to the relaxing craft of hand stitching.
In this workshop Vicki will teach you how to stitch a classic myozashi pattern with a maple leaf motif onto a gorgeous 100% linen tea towel. You will have the option to stitch with some very special sashiko thread that Vicki has dyed with kakishibu (Japanese persimmon tannin).

Before the invention of knitting, clever humans created beautiful textiles using a technique called nalbinding.

During the workshop you will make a gorgeous woollen egg warmer as your first nalbinding sample.
