This Children’s Day facilitated by Kalaa Katha, come to EcoVille for a creative morning of Kinusaiga  — a traditional Japanese textile art form that transforms pieces of fabric into intricate patterns and pictures.

Kinusaiga is sometimes described as “patchwork without stitching.” Instead of sewing pieces together, fabric is carefully cut, arranged and tucked into grooves to build up a design. The process is tactile, colorful and wonderfully absorbing — making it a lovely activity for children and adults to explore together.

All other materials are provided: including box frames, instruction manual, and beautiful fabrics.

 Discover the Art of Kinusaiga

During the workshop, you’ll be introduced to the basic techniques behind this beautiful Japanese craft. You’ll learn how to work with different pieces of fabric, arrange colours and patterns, and build an image layer by layer.

There’s no need to be an experienced artist or crafter. The process is accessible and hands-on, with plenty of room to experiment and make the final piece your own.

Make Something Together

The workshop is especially suited to parents and children looking to spend Children’s Day doing something creative together.

Rather than simply making something for your child, this is an opportunity to sit side by side, exchange ideas and work on a little piece of art together.

You can make a shared piece or create your own individual designs (*extra charges applicable).

Beyond the artistry, this workshop offers an opportunity for:

• Mindful Creation: Immerse yourself in the meditative process of pattern making, Kinusaiga offers a lovely way to slow down and make something by hand.

• Intimate Connection: Share a unique and memorable experience with your loved one, fostering deeper connection and shared joy.

• Unleashing Your Inner Artist: There will be fabric, color, creativity and plenty of room for little imaginations to wander.

  

  What to Bring

  If you’d like to incorporate something personal into your artwork, bring a small piece of old clothing or fabric that you’d like to give a new life to.

  You can also simply come as you are — all materials for the workshop will be provided.
