Japanese Good Luck Embroidery: Semamori
This is a family activity!
Join guest artist Mitsugu Sasaki, who is coming from Japan for a special exhibition of his works, as he shows and guides us on the process of hand-stitching a Semamori sign on a piece of clothing of your choice.
The Semamori sign is traditionally added as a wish for protection, health and good luck.
The workshop will teach how to use the traditional Sashiko tools: embroidery needle and cotton thread.
You can bring a garment of your own or choose to work on a provided piece of fabric with Sashiko stitching needles and cotton thread.
Kids age 7 and up are welcome with a parent/guardian!!
