Experience the meditative quality of hand stitching – the quiet, repetitive in and out of the threaded needle as you join two pieces of cloth. You may find that this sewing practice satisfies your need for calm, for working with color and pattern, for concentrating on process and not product: the perfect activity to focus the mind and delight the eye.
In this one-day class you will learn the history of this ancient craft as well as the Korean technique of patchwork as you make a small sachet using traditional fabrics – hemp, ramie, cotton and silk organza.
No experience necessary. All materials provided. Bring a lunch and a pair of scissors for cutting fabric if you have them.
Prior students are encouraged to come – for inspiration, cool fabrics, and instruction in new stitch techniques.
The class is held in Patti’s lovely home in Langley where her textile studio is filled with inspiration and materials she will share. Plenty of space to spread out and stitch at your own speed as well as good lighting to see what you’re doing and be warm and cozy.
In an effort to expose more folks to this wonderful old technique we are offering two slots as a scholarship for those that can prove need. Patti’s goal is to educate and spread the word about this delightful technique.
This is an example of a very complex bojagi, so as you can see you can create larger pieces that resemble stained glass – we will be making the sachet size at the top of the page.
