We love a modern application of a traditional technique, and what
better way to make SASHIKO CONTEMPORARY THAN TO EMBELLISH YOUR
FAVORITE JEANS WITH SOME SASHIKO STITCHING!
Join SASHIKO STITCHING EXPERT ATSUSHI FUTATSUYA, a third-generation
SASHIKO STITCHER, as he educates us on the history of the traditional
SASHIKO RUNNING STITCHING, used to quilt, mend or simply beautify a
piece of woven cloth.
Students will bring their own DENIM, mark out a pattern, and embroider
using the traditional SASHIKO STITCHING TECHNIQUES. Students will
leave with a wonderful project to continue on their own time.
Please note, this class has a pre-requisite course.*
*Because DENIM IS A MORE COMPLEX FABRIC ON WHICH TO STITCH, Atsushi
requests that all SASHIKO ON DENIM STUDENTS HAVE TAKEN HIS TRADITIONAL
SASHIKO STITCHING COURSE. Students are welcome to take the morning
session Traditional SASHIKO CLASS BEFORE SASHIKO ON DENIM FOR A FULL,
immersive day of stitching.
