Description
Discover the beauty of Kinsusaiga in a warm, welcoming class designed to bring our arts community together. This traditional Japanese fabric art form—often called “paintings made from cloth”—uses carefully placed textiles to create stunning, textured designs without sewing. Guided step by step, you’ll learn the basics of this unique technique while sharing creativity, conversation, and inspiration with fellow art lovers. Whether you’re new to fiber arts or looking to try something different, this class is a wonderful way to connect, create, and celebrate the joy of making art together.
Kinusaiga, or Japanese "silk painting," is created by tucking fabric scraps into pre cut grooves in wood or foam board. Often called "no-sew quilting," this technique allows artists to create, mosaic-like images without sewing or glue.

In this class we will be making a beginners piece. But you can get as fancy dancy as you would like. All materials are included so just bring your creative mind. The piece that we will be working on will be a set size and will sit in a standard shadow box frame.
While you craft, enjoy delicious café bites, curated cocktails, and cozy hot drinks to sip as you create. Snack boards can be purchased with your tickets and cocktails will be available all night.
