This is a fun activity in Stewkley, Luton
Discover the Japanese-inspired art of Kinusaiga in a relaxed garden studio workshop in Stewkley, Buckinghamshire, and create your own colourful, framed textile artwork using a beautiful no-sew fabric-tucking technique.
After discovering this style of textile art on a trip to Japan, where I saw stunning large-scale Kinusaiga pieces, I wanted to create a more accessible version that everyone could enjoy making for themselves – and that's exactly what this workshop is about.
Working from a simple design template, you'll learn how to cut, layer and tuck patterned fabrics into a foam base to build your own unique piece of art. With a lovely range of colourful cotton and patterned fabrics to choose from, no two finished pieces are ever quite the same. No sewing skills or previous experience are needed – I'll guide you through the whole process step by step, so you can relax and enjoy the making.
By the end, you'll leave with your own finished, framed Kinusaiga-inspired artwork, ready to hang and admire at home. Everything's included, from the wooden frame, foam base and adhesive to the fabrics and full use of tools and equipment, plus tea, coffee and biscuits to keep you going in this small, relaxed group setting.
Perfect for beginners, textile lovers, or anyone after a few hours of doing something creative and a little different.
