Kinusaiga Fabric Art Workshop

Would you like to try a new, fun and creative craft activity?

Kinusaiga is a Japanese art form that creates detailed pictures using pieces of fabric instead of paint or traditional patchwork. Unlike quilting, there is no sewing.

You can pick from a large number of designs that have been drawn and cut into a foam board (20 cm x 20 cm). Small pieces of fabric are laid over each section, and the fabric edges are gently tucked into the grooves with a sewing tool, creating a smooth, mosaic-like image.

The technique was originally developed as a way to reuse scraps of fine silk from old kimonos, turning leftover fabric into decorative artwork.

Create your own unique project to take home.

No experience needed - all materials are provided, and you'll get to take your handmade creation home with you.
