Sashiko workshop

595,00 kr

Come down to our shop for an exciting creative workshop, where you can try your hand at the traditional Japanese technique, kintsugi, where broken ceramic shards are reassembled with a beautiful gold or silver glue.

The Kintsugi technique stems from the wabi-sabi philosophy, which is about seeing the beauty in the imperfect, standing by one's history and protecting the things one has in the home. You can read more about the ideas behind wabi-sabi and kintsugi here.

The workshop is held on two Thursdays in April, and there is a limited number of places.

The workshop is from 17.00 to 18.30 and the price is DKK 595.

You will get:

  • A kintsugi repair kit , which can then be taken home (value: DKK 245)
  • A piece of broken pottery (new value: up to DKK 250)
  • Option to purchase larger ceramic products
  • Introduction and demonstration of the kintsugi technique
  • Japanese tea and cold drinks
Due to limited places, registration is binding, and it is therefore not possible to get the money refunded if you are prevented from participating.


In addition, we reserve the right to cancel the event if there are too few registrants.


NOTE: YOUR ORDER CONFIRMATION IS YOUR TICKET - SO REMEMBER TO SAVE THIS

Sashiko

Japanese embroidery technique

Sashiko (刺し子) is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique originally used to reinforce and repair textiles. The technique dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868) and literally means "small stitches" in Japanese.

Sashiko is characterized by simple, geometric patterns. The stitches are small and regular, often in a repeating pattern, which not only gives the fabric strength, but also a decorative expression.

Originally used by Japanese farmers and fishermen to mend and reinforce their clothing, sashiko is now a popular craft in modern textile design and sustainable fashion. Sashiko is used both for repair (e.g. "visible mending") and as an aesthetic embroidery technique for clothing, bags and home textiles.
