Explore two traditional Japanese mending techniques in a hands-on workshop led by Ida Christoffersen, who designs and teaches Japanese textile traditions through her upcycling label YUME.ITO. Sashiko is a form of running-stitch embroidery where each stitch becomes a small record of time and care, while boro is a patching method that turns visible repairs into a piece of art in their own right.
You will get a taste of both techniques, learn the simple stitch that builds patterns and rhythm, and work with water-soluble transfer sheets or draw your own designs from scratch. There is also a chance to find fresh inspiration for mending worn or everyday clothes in a personal way. Japanese tea and miso and milk chocolate cookies are served during the session.
