Exploring versatile running stitches The technique of decorating a fabric surface with running stitches can be found in many cultures. In this class students will learn 2 types of stitching: Sashiko, which means “little stabs” in Japanese, and Kantha, which translates to “rags” in Sanskrit. The primary function of the stitching was to mend and reuse old but treasured fabric; to gather layers of fabric which then provided warmth and insulation; and/or strengthen the fabric for heavy usage. However, the decorative aspect of this timeless practice became just as important and valued, and its rich “vocabulary” translates into endless pattern variations. Learn traditional Sashiko patterns using simple grid-based stitches such as “zigzag,” “field of flowers,” and traditional patterns using curves such as “ocean waves,” and “rising steam.” We will also cover the organic and flowing art of Kantha stitching. You will create an embroidered piece of hand-dyed wool felt fabric that will be assembled into a beautiful eyeglass case or small pouch. Students are recommended to bring a thimble if they have one. $10 material fee payable to the instructor at the start of class. This class is appropriate for ages 12 years and older. • Scholarships available • Homeschoolers welcome • Military and sibling discounts For more information visit: sandiegocraft.org Stay Connected on Facebook
