Sashi-Boro
Led by Helene Knott
This is a blending of cultural needlework techniques – a little bit of Sashiko, and a little bit of Boro. Sashiko is a traditional form of Japanese hand stitching that creates motifs and all-over patterns using bold, visible stitches. Boro is a distant cousin – a rustic technique for repairing and extending the usefulness of textiles. In this class, students will start by stitching small Japanese Komon motifs of their choice with Sashiko, using a design sheet provided, and then collaging them as patches with other fabrics into a hand-stitched Boro sampler. The result is a small project that combines the elegant beauty of Sashiko with the primitive appeal of Boro. The project can be used as a decorative wall quilt, a table mat, or a runner.
