Sashiko Workshop
Overview
Discover the art of Sashiko, a traditional Japanese embroidery technique whose name translates to "little stabs." Originally developed as a practical method for reinforcing, mending, and insulating worn clothing, Sashiko transforms simple running stitches into beautiful geometric patterns that celebrate both craftsmanship and repair.
Join us for an evening of learning this timeless textile tradition while creating your own stitched piece. Whether you're interested in visible mending, textile arts, or simply trying something new, this beginner-friendly workshop offers a relaxing introduction to one of Japan's most enduring folk art practices.
This workshop is presented in part through the support of a City of Stockton Arts Commission grant, helping expand access to arts and cultural programming in our community.
