This is a fun activity in Manchester

Come and discover the beauty of Sashiko in this relaxing two‑hour hand‑stitching workshop in Manchester. Rooted in Japanese tradition, Sashiko is all about simple, repetitive stitches that create striking patterns and bring a wonderful sense of calm and satisfaction.

This class is perfect for complete beginners or anyone curious about slow stitching. No experience is needed -- just bring yourself, a little curiosity, and enjoy the process of learning something new.

**What to expect:**
- Learn the foundational method of Sashiko step by step.
- Practise your stitches and create your own Sashiko block to take home.
- Explore how Sashiko can be used for visible mending -- perfect for jeans, arm patches, or adding flair to homewares like cushions and throws.
- Work at your own pace in a calm, supportive environment, with guidance throughout.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a beautiful stitched block, the knowledge to continue at home, and a newfound appreciation for the mindful art of slow stitching.

Absolutely fabulous class - thank you so much. Luke was so knowledgeable - he gave us all the background information about sashiko (and other Japanese embroidery types). He was calm and patient in his teaching style. And super friendly and chatty. The class was really relaxed and relaxing. Luke gave you the confidence and skills to do more when you got home and I can't wait to have another try when my supplies arrive.

Great chance to find out about this traditional craft. Our teacher shared his knowledge generously and was kind and encouraging. Sorry l came home with my needle. I'll bring it back next time. Proud to have my own piece of Sashiko to develop.
