Successful Sashiko Workshop

Successful Sashiko Workshop in NYC

Thanks to many people around me sharing the information, I had a great time in NYC with Successful Sashiko Workshop over the weekend of 6/24 and 6/25. It is always a good surprise that people like Sashiko way more than I imagine. I am happy, and mostly relieved, that all of the participants enjoyed the workshop. I hope I can see all the graduates who enjoyed my workshops and meet someone new who is interested in Sashiko workshop.

*For my Sashiko Workshop attendees. If you haven’t received a follow-up e-mail from me in last 6 days, please contact me in earliest convenience. You have some follow-up materials to maximize the workshop experience, and I would like to make sure you get everything.  

 

Boro | Sashiko | Beautiful time with fabric

We offered the basic (regular) Sashiko stitching workshops, Sashiko Mending Workshops, and advanced (Hitomezashi) Workshops. They are all Successful Sashiko Workshops. On top of the techniques and workshops materials, I am very happy that the people enjoyed the Boro and Sashiko pieces I brought to the workshop.

Thanks to one attendee, I now have this beautiful picture with Boro Jackets from Sashi.Co & Keiko Futatsuya. I knew the Boro jacket is stunning. However, the jacket with a tall person was something more than I was imagining. I would like to thank him a lot for the opportunity. (I wish I could be taller… lol )

The time with fabric, either Sashiko stitching with Asano-ha pattern or mending their garment with Sashiko fabric, the time with 3 hours were very beautiful with enjoying, appreciating, and feeling the fabric. Although we do not have the specific date for the next Sashiko workshop in NYC, I hope we can offer the similar opportunity to enjoy Sashiko with me.

Learn from the expert. Learn the tradition.

Over 2 years of our workshop offering to more than 70 graduates, we have 100% satisfaction feedbacks so far. Our goal is not only teaching the Sashiko technique of “how to”, but also sharing how enjoyable Sashiko is in your life with the mindset behind it.

Customized Sashiko Workshop (in PA or your place)

The sashiko instructor (I, Atsushi), lives in Lewisburg, the central Pensylvania.

I am happy to offer the Sashiko workshops if you could make a trip to the city of Lewisburg. The workshop is about 3 hours long. I am usually available on weekdays between 9 am to 4 pm. Also, I am available to travel to your place if the driving is in about one hour (or invite me overnight), with your responsibility of preparing the place for workshops and covering the travel expense. Since I do not have a specific day opened for workshops.

Here is a list of the details we need to confirm.

  • Participants of 3 are the minimum size of the workshop for the regular workshop price of $140.00 and up per participants (including all the workshop material). The maximum size is 8 participants. Please contact me if you would like to have a private workshop or have only 2 participants.
  • Travel expense is based on standard mileage calculation (0.54 USD per mile). If you invite me from Philadelphia, the cost of travel expense is about $150~$200, a round trip.
  • If you are an owner of a shop or a studio, thinking of hosting the Sashiko workshop, I am happy to share the term and condition to offer Sashiko workshop in your location.

 

For more information, I updated the blog post about having me to your place to offer the workshop.

Online Sashiko Workshop | Learn wherever you are

 

There are numbers of requests to have online workshops. I understand that it is costly and troublesome to make a trip to NYC/Brooklyn and/or the central Pensylvania. My concern is whether I can provide the workshop with the same quality since participants satisfaction is very important for us.

However, I also understand the needs. If you are interested in taking our Sashiko Online Workshop, please leave the comments here, or simply contact me to tell me you are interested. When I have a good number of potential participants, I would like to develop the online workshop with the help of those potential participants.

 

Sashiko Workshop 2

 

 

I will continue Sashiko Workshop, thanks to you.

Our goal is to share the Sashiko technique and the mindset behind it. I sometimes say that I want to make Sashiko “open-sourced” information. I could use some financial aid to continue doing:

  • To encourage the both generation, the older generation to appreciate the technique they have, and the younger generation to inspire them.

 

Some people mentioned the cost (costly pricing) of our workshop. I hope the participants understand the price of our workshop, as well as the price we have the products and supplies. It is my biggest intention to pass Sashiko down to the next generation.

 

Enjoy Sashiko!

Read this article to learn what you can expect to our HandsOn Sashiko Workshops.

Our goal through this website is to share our techniques and information. However, it is the best way to meet the instructors and learn from them. The workshops aren’t like the lecture you would just listen to the talking. You would move your hands to learn how to use the Sashiko thimble and needles, The instructor will sit down next to you and put hands on your hands to teach if necessary.

 

Although there is not “right” technique for the Sashiko stitching, we are proud of our accumulation of techniques and its uniqueness. I believe that, once you master our stitching method, the stitching process will speed up and you can enjoy more Sashiko project. As a result, your stitching skill will improve. The more you enjoy the Sashiko project, the better your stitching looks.
