Temari Hawaiʻi is proud to present a series of sashiko workshops by Karen Watanabe Matsunaga which will be held at Mōʻiliʻili Community Center in Room 105 with FREE parking.
Talk story with Karen Watanabe Matsunaga as she discusses her journeys with sashiko and with artistic ventures. Share your own journey, interests, projects, and questions as we learn from and inspire each other to continue our needlework adventures. If you have not yet begun your own journey yet, come anyway and enjoy!
This class is designed for those with little or no experience with sashiko. Learn the basics of sashiko stitching while decorating a furoshiki (square wrapping cloth). Furoshiki can be used to transport objects, protect tabletops, decorate walls, or wrap a gift.

We’ll begin the session with a brief historical overview to gain appreciation and perspective from sashiko’s humble origins as a folk craft. Instead of being a “sage on the stage,” Karen will be a “guide on the side” in this class for more experienced needleworkers who want to discuss, explore possibilities, plan, and create a unique project incorporating sashiko. Examples of such sashiko projects will be used as a springboard for ideas. Then, class members will each brainstorm, outline, and create a design/composition on paper.
