Step into a world of indigo fabric, rhythmic stitching, and quiet joy at our Sashiko Workshop - an immersive experience inspired by the timeless Japanese tradition of Sashiko.
Sashiko, meaning "little stabs" transforms simple running stitches into mesmerising geometric patterns. As you trace classic motifs - waves, hempleaves, interlocking circles - you begin to see how repetition becomes art.
Sashiko is also more than embroidery, it's a moving meditation. The steady rhythm of stitching slows your breathing, softens your shoulders and the simple repetition quiets the mind, leaving space for calm, clarity and creative flow.
No experience required, just curiosity, whether you are a seasoned maker or picking up a needle for the first time, you will discover the quiet thrill of watching patterns emerge beneath your hands.
