Discover the breathtaking and meditative Japanese art of Kinusaiga—a traditional fabric mosaic technique that uses richly colored fabric pieces pressed into a foam base to create stunning, painterly textile artwork! This beginner-friendly class for ages 16 and up is an introduction to a lesser-known fiber art form that produces truly spectacular results. In this hands-on class, participants will:
Learn the history and origins of Kinusaiga and its roots in traditional Japanese textile art
Prepare a base panel and plan a simple but beautiful design to work from
Select and cut vibrant fabric pieces, learning how to use color, pattern, and texture to build depth and dimension
Tuck and press fabric into carved grooves to create a seamless, mosaic-like composition that resembles a painted masterpiece
Leave with a completed Kinusaiga panel and the foundational skills to continue exploring this stunning art form at home
Kinusaiga is a deeply satisfying and meditative craft that produces artwork of extraordinary beauty.
This class is 3 hours long. All people 16 and up are encouraged to attend. All materials are included and the cost is per person.
