    Kinusaiga - No Needle? No Problem!

    Looking for a fun way to try something new? Join Tessa for a hands-on introduction to Kinusaiga, the beautiful Japanese art of creating fabric pictures without a single stitch. Using colorful fabrics and a simple tucking technique, you'll create a finished design with the rich texture and dimension of appliqué. No sewing machine or needle required! This workshop is perfect for anyone who loves working with fabric. You'll learn the basics of Kinusaiga, complete a beautiful project to take home, and discover a creative technique that's as enjoyable as it is rewarding. Come ready to experiment, play with color, and add a new skill to your creative toolbox!

    Bring cute fabrics!  All other materials will be provided.
