Whether or not you’ve taken an introductory class, join Blake Brenneman, a bookbinder and sashiko embroidery artist, for a half-year sashiko experience and learning opportunity. Learn thoughtful sashiko stitching, pattern drafting, and garment embellishment in an intimate, small-group setting where friends will be made and creativity will be developed.
