Workshop: Sustainability & Sashiko
Sashiko, a mending technique with stitches, is one of the oldest traditional Japanese upcycling techniques. Artist mai ide leads this workshop that finds a confluence between mending fabric and repairing emotional intimacy, loneliness, and fragility.
The participants of this workshop will discover both the cultural meaning of sashiko and sustainability and also gain new insight into mending our brokenness or traumatic experiences. This workshop allows participants to reclaim their slow moments, meditating and discerning vulnerability while they mend their garments to lead the holistic well-being of the planet.
