Over the years, we have shared Sashiko with people around the world through both online learning and In-Person Sashiko Classes. Online classes continue to be a wonderful way to connect across distance and to learn at one’s own pace.
For those who wish to share the same space, fabric, and quiet rhythm together, In-Person Sashiko Classes 2026 offer another equally meaningful way to experience the same practice face to face. These In-Person Sashiko Classes 2026 will deepen your connection to the craft.
In 2026, Upcycle Stitches will once again offer a limited number of these special in-person opportunities.
Our In-Person Sashiko Classes 2026 will guide you through traditional techniques and the philosophy behind the art.

About the In-Person Sashiko Classes 2026
The In-Person classes are guided by Japanese Sashiko artisan Atsushi Futatsuya and focus on the Core & EsseThe In-Person Sashiko Classes are grounded in the same philosophy that supports our online learning, now experienced through shared physical space and quiet presence at Upcycle Stitches. In these gatherings, participants are invited to move beyond surface technique and encounter the deeper structure of Sashiko as a way of living with cloth, time, and intention.
Through the In-Person Sashiko Classes 2026, participants will be gently guided into:
- Traditional needle movement (Unshin) and its natural rhythm
- The delicate relationship between fabric, thread, and tension
- The everyday mindset behind continuous stitching and repair
- Sashiko as a living practice of repetition, memory, and care
These In-Person Sashiko Classes are not designed as quick, project-based workshops focused on finishing a single piece. Instead, they offer unhurried time to slow down, observe, and feel what often becomes clear only through shared presence — the subtle adjustments of hand and posture, the quiet dialogue between fabric and needle, and the rhythm that emerges when people stitch side by side.

They are especially suited for:
- Those who discovered Sashiko through online learning and wish to experience the practice in person
- Beginners who are about to take their very first stitches

No prior experience is required, and participation in online classes is never a prerequisite. Whether you come from an online class, another textile practice, or complete curiosity, you are welcome to join and discover the living rhythm of Sashiko in person.
One Practice, Many Ways to Learn

저는 대한민국 대구에서 사는 57세 주부입니다. 인스타에서 사시코바느질을 보고 관심을 가지게 되었습니다. 오프라인수업에 일본어를 못해도 참석가능한지 알고 싶어요
댓글 감사합니다.
수업은 일본어 또는 영어로 수강하시는 것이 바람직하다고 생각합니다.
대면 수업(In-Person)인 경우에는 언어가 달라도 어느 정도 전달은 가능하다고 보지만, 역시 한계가 있을 수 있다고 느끼고 있습니다.
이 점 양해해 주시면 감사하겠습니다.
