What a beautifully calm, slightly inky, very zen evening playing with “floating ink” at my Suminagashi workshop — equal parts mindful magic and “ooh look what I made!”
More workshops will be drifting in throughout the year… or pop in for a drop-in session and I’ll let you in on the swirly secrets! 🖌️✨

Cutest little workshop incoming!! Needle felting is a sculptural craft that uses a barbed needle to tangle and mat loose wool fibres together into solid shapes or detailed 2D designs. By repeatedly stabbing the wool, you interlock the fibres, causing them to condense and firm up until they hold a permanent form. It is often described as an intuitive hobby, similar to sculpting with clay but using “paint with wool” techniques.

let’s dive into kinusaiga, an enchanting Japanese art form where intricate fabric collages come alive without sewing. By pressing fabric scraps into pre-cut slits on a backing, we create mosaic art. Historically, it emerged in Japan as an eco-friendly way to reuse kimono silk
