Description
In this five-hour workshop, led by Akiko Ike, an internationally recognized fiber artist and teacher from Niigata, Japan, each participant will have an opportunity to make one casual cloth bag, designed by Ike, using and Japanese artisan apron. The apron is a strong canvas-like material. Akiko will teach "Chiku Chiku"** stitches using special Sashiko thread dyed in Niiagata, Japan. Depending on how you decide to finish the bag, there may be some sewing to be done at home outside the workshop.
**"Chiku Chiku" is an onomatopoeic word Ike uses to describe the sound her needle makes as she stiches.
