Beginning Sashiko (Age 16+)

April 3 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm 

Get acquainted with sashiko – a decorative and beautiful Japanese stitching technique – in this make-&-take class. Students will learn two traditional sashiko patterns and leave with a starter kit and sashiko book to continue practicing at home. Each student will leave class with a finished project. No experience necessary. All supplies included. This is the first in a series of needle art classes.

Location: Anderson Perry Annex 1901 N. Fir Street in La Grande

Teaching Artist: Linda Schreiner

Cost: $60 Member / $75 Non-Member 

Artist Bio: Linda has been drawn to Japanese aesthetics for many years and feels that the simplicity of design in sashiko, with high-contrast thread on indigo blue, is meditative and stimulating at the same time. Sashiko also appeals to her because she likes to use supplies frugally.
