Workshop in partnership with Dubai Design Week 2022
A truly function design is one that maximizes usage, leaning away from consumerism. This 2 hours stitching workshop explores Japanese-inspired mending techniques such as "Boro" and "Sashiko" which are used to extend the life of textile products.
Participants will be provided with all the material required and also have the option of bringing in a pre-loved garment to work on.

Cost: 100 AED

More about Japanese Mending:
Sashiko (刺し子, lit. ‘little stabs’) is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery or stitching used for the decorative and/or functional reinforcement of cloth and clothing.
Boro ( ぼろ) are a class of Japanese textiles that have been mended or patched together.
Garments and textiles were repaired with spare fabric scraps out of necessity, and in many cases, the usage of repaired clothing lasted for several generations, leading to garments eventually resembling a complex and many-layered patchwork spanning decades of mending.
