On a recent trip to Argentina, I had the pleasure of being introduced to the beautiful art of Kugurisashi by the talented Maria Eugenia Sandin. This traditional Japanese embroidery technique combines structure and creativity in a truly meditative practice.
In this class, we’ll explore Kugurisashi by embellishing the lid of a Masu Box—a charming, functional piece that makes a perfect canvas for your stitches. You'll learn how to work with patterns, colors, and textures to create a unique embroidered design. Whether you're new to needlework or an experienced stitcher, this class is sure to inspire and spark ideas for future projects beyond our time together.
*Please note: Needles and thread will be used in this class.
