Kogin Class: Instructor Karen Matsunaga
This class is an introduction to kogin-zashi, a counted thread precursor to sashiko, that originated in Japan’s northern snow country. In class, Karen will give a brief history of kogin to add depth and appreciation for this needlework technique.
Supplies will be provided to decorate two squares with a choice of four kogin designs. Completed patches can decorate such things as bags, pouches, or pockets and be used in patchwork projects of all kinds.
