Sashiko Hand-stitching Workshop Reviews

5 Rating 10 Reviews
Read ClassBento UK Reviews

This is a fun activity in Salford, Manchester

Come and learn how to stitch by hand in this Saturday morning sashiko workshop. This relaxing session will gently guide you through the basics of the traditional Japanese hand-stitching technique, a method focused on simple, repetitive stitches that bring a great sense of satisfaction.

This calming activity is perfect for anyone new to sewing. All you need to bring are your hands and a bit of curiosity. You will learn the foundational method of sashiko, get a chance to practise your stitches, and create your own beautiful sashiko block to take away with you.

Creative pursuits are best enjoyed without rushing. While many people finish their block within the class, you might find you want to complete a few final stitches at home, especially if you like to take your time. You'll leave with all the knowledge needed to do so.

You'll finish this workshop with a newfound appreciation for slow stitching, equipped with the skills to continue this mindful craft and your lovely sashiko block as a reminder of your creative morning.

I went with my daughter and we both loved it! It was a lovely and calm way to spend a Saturday morning. Luke is really passionate about Sashiko and Japan and gave us lots of backgroung information and was great explaining what to do. Especially for my daughter who didn't have any stitching experience at all (and managed to pick the trickiest pattern...). I was looking for inspiration / skills for creating a piece of wall art for our lounge and got lots of ideas - I would highly recommend it!

Could not recommend highly enough. The class was fun, engaging and we learned a lot. Luke had a wealth of knowledge of the craft and it's cultural history. I liked that we could take our time and really throw ourselves into the craft. The whole process was very easy going and enjoyable. If you're thinking about it, just do it, you'll love it! Don't forget to ask about Sewing Bee!

What a fantastic morning! Luke pitches it just right - whether you’re more experienced or an absolute beginner, like me. Lots of positivity and praise ! I can’t wait to do another class with him soon. I’m hoping he’ll do a hat course as I’d be first in the queue. Thanks so much for the confidence boost!

What an amazing way to spend two hours sewing.Sashiko is mindful little stitches in and out of fabric, I had such a fab time. Luke is a great teacher explaining clearly and then showing great patience and positivity in letting you try it out and supporting as needed. I enjoyed hearing about their experience in Japan and seeing their work. Will definitely attend another class of Luke's. I received this as a gift and it was easy to redeem the voucher. Thankyou
