A SASHIKO AND BORO PROJECT – is a combination of the below, but not so intensive.

Topics for discussion:

– Commence with a pre-printed fabric and progress to other methods of creating and transferring designs onto fabric.

A folder of methods and designs together with a little history of Sashiko will be on offer. This is a one day course designed to be very comprehensive in tutoring and arm students with the confidence to produce a superb outcome.

Students will learn all the basics of Boro.

Boro Projects are designed to encourage students to think outside their comfort zone. Boro is a mending method from which Sashiko evolved. Boro projects on offer encourage students to upcycle and think creatively with many fabrics and off cuts / scraps they might have. I also encourage students how to embellish clothing with Boro.
