Sashiko-broderie workshop

Come join us as we dive into the Japanese repairing technique ‘sashiko’ when we learn how one simple stitch can transform an outworn textile into something you can use over and over again.

In this summer workshop, we dive into the Japanese sashiko technique: a simple yet powerful technique, where repairing becomes obvious as an essential part of the design. With needle and thread, we embroider and make patterns, embracing when stains, wear, and previous life become a visible part of the expression.

During the workshop, participants can work with their own materials or those provided by the museum. Aligned with a current exhibition by Henrik Vibskov, the surplus materials are provided by the designer himself, allowing these textiles to bring new stories to life. This workshop is not about making anything perfect, but about renewing materials through new shapes and patterns.
