Kinusaiga - No-Sew Fabric Art

Kinusaiga emerged in Japan during the 1980s, and is inspired by traditional Japanese textile arts. This medium creates its look by wrapping fabric pieces over cut foam shapes and tucking them in, leaving a "quilted" look that requires no sewing! 

In this class our instructor Julia will have a pre-cut template set on a foam board for you (choose one of the 4 designs!). She will guide you through choosing, and cutting your fabric, using tools to tuck it in, and wrapping your finished edges in a ribbon to add the final touch. Everything you need to create a work of art will be provided in this class.

If you have a beautiful pile of scrap fabric just waiting for its day in the sun, or a meaningful item that you'd like to include, feel free to bring fabric from home! Thinner fabrics such as cotton or silk work best. 

Designs to choose from at checkout**:

Pumpkin 8x8"

Barn quilt 8x8"

Flowers in a vase 8x10"

Sunset 8x10"

**Please note that the exact pattern of the fabric available may vary depending on the inventory at the time of the class, but the color scheme will remain the same!
