Kinusaiga Cardinal Workshop

Join us for a cozy crafting session of Kinusaiga! There's no sewing, needles, thread, or experience needed to create this fabric artwork. Come relax with us and learn how to create a stunning, mosaic-styled art piece using fabrics! This Kinusaiga Cardinal 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 fabric to bring a vibrant red cardinal to life. The Northern Cardinal is widely regarded as a symbol of hope, love, and sweet remembrance. Your finished piece will make for the perfect seasonal decor for your home, or can be given as a deeply meaningful handmade gift. What You’ll Learn: • How to safely 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 in fabric, and how to strategically place the fabrics for visual appeal. • How to finish the project and display it. 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.
