Origami Boxes and Sashiko Geometry
Discover the meditative beauty of paper and thread in this hands-on workshop. You'll learn how to fold elegant origami boxes and embellish them with traditional Sashiko-inspired geometric embroidery. Step-by-step instruction will guide you through foundational folding techniques and classic Sashiko patterns, exploring how simple stitches create striking, colorful designs. Once the basics are covered, you’ll be encouraged to experiment—combining patterns, colors, and compositions to create pieces that feel uniquely your own. No prior origami or embroidery experience is required; all skill levels are welcome.
Leave with finished boxes that are both functional and artful.
