What will be covered in the class?
Over the course of five weeks students will make their own bespoke, naturally – dyed quilt. In the first week, the participants will dye their fabric using shibori techniques to achieve the desired patterns, following this they will learn how to quilt the layers together using sashiko-a mindful, hand stitching technique and then how to hand bind the piece in order to create a beautifully finished work.

What will I need to bring?
Materials provided. Students are encouraged to bring their own sewing machines if they have them, but these will be made available for those who do not.
