Boro refers to the traditional Japanese process of mending and reusing worn out textiles. What was once a necessity for rural Japanese communities is now a focus of admiration for their imperfect beauty.

In this workshop, you'll explore the history and cultural importance of boro patchwork and sashiko, a decorative and functional embroidery technique. Using scrap fabrics and visible stitches, you’ll create an abstract wall hanging that reflects your personal style. This is a perfect project for anyone who loves artful home décor and learning new techniques for textile art.

No experience necessary!
