This LivePlus™ online workshop is designed for anyone who wants to have a go at this fun and interesting craft.
Workshop details
Borrowing from Boro: inspired by Japanese Boro work, Christine has been developing a style of hand and machine stitched patchwork that is very accessible and rewarding. Derived from the Japanese 'boroboro' - meaning something tattered or repaired - Boro is the practice of repairing and reworking textiles, such as clothing or bedding, through piecing, patching and stitching, in order to extend their use.
This 2 hour class will include an illustrated introduction to Boro work followed by a demonstration as to how you can create a Boro-influenced piece of textile that can be made in to a phone or glasses case. You will gain the skills you need to go on to bigger projects and Christine will share examples to inspire you.
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop:
