Christmas Kinusaiga Fabric Art Workshop

Celebrate the holidays with a festive, beginner-friendly crafting session of Kinusaiga! No experience is needed for this no-sew project. This workshop is designed to be beginner-friendly, requiring no sewing or previous experience. In this class you’ll learn the relaxing and satisfying magic of scoring, trimming, and tucking to bring a festive Christmas Tree to life using fabric. Your finished piece can be displayed as seasonal decor for your home, or can be given and cherished as a handmade gift instead. All the needed craft supplies will be included. Spaces are limited. What You’ll Learn: • How to transfer an image to the foam base through scoring techniques using a craft knife. • Tucking, tensioning, and corner-clipping techniques using simple tools like a seam ripper and scissors. • How to cut out the pieces of fabric and how to strategically place them for visual appeal. About Kinusaiga: • It is pronounced "kee-new-sigh-gah". • This art form was created in Japan in the 1980's by artist Maeno Takashi. • The philosophy of this art form was intended to cultivate resourcefulness by turning leftover silk or cotton kimono scraps into art. Workshop Details • You'll recieve: All the fabric and tools you'll need to complete your Kinusaiga project, including an unfinished 8x8 wooden frame. • Date & Time: Sunday, November 29th, 2026 | 3:00 PM (2hr Class) • Location: Open BTL Wine & Spirits: 39 E William St, Delaware, OH 43015 • Cost: $35 per person + EventBrite fees ($5 off your first class. Code: FIRST5) • Who Can Join: Open to adults and to children - if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please see the age disclaimer below for more details. • Age Disclaimer: Children under 13 will not be permitted to handle the craft knives. Children aged 13+ will need to be supervised and well-behaved to participate in the scoring portion of the class and to use the craft knives. Children who are not participating in scoring will need the "Pre-Cut" add-on at checkout, and will be given a mini craft to do while the rest of the class is scoring their designs. (Scoring is when we cut the design into the foam base for the fabric to be tucked into). • Add Ons: If you need a project kit pre-cut/scored for a child or for an adult who prefers this, please select the "Pre-cut Project" option from the add-on section at checkout. This add-on is $5 per person/project. While the class will be instructed by The Creative Learning Club, Open BTL Wine & Spirits will be our gracious host for the evening. They offer a great selection of wines that can be purchased during the class, and a tapas-style menu offering items to snack on and pair with drinks. Class will start promptly at 3:00 PM and last about 2 hours in duration. Please reserve your spot ahead of time through EventBrite. Any child under 18 who participates will be the responsibility of the parent or guardian, and will require their supervision.
