Sashiko class
Februari 8
At Konsthantverkarna Karlstad
What is the roots of Sashiko history and how has the tradition evolved over time? What is Sashiko today and who is entitled to it? Kerstin Neumüller shares her ideas and experiences during a one hour lecture, after which you'll get to try stitching your own sashiko pattern. During the day you can choose how complicated you want your sewing to be - The straightforward Moyo zashi, the mathematical Hitome zashi or the truly complicated Kogin zashi. Although all are based on the same fundamental stitch, they unfold completely different, unique patterns.
