Sashiko & Mindfulness Workshop

Join us for a hands-on sashiko workshop on Saturday, November 21st, in collaboration with Little Coco Studio.

Each session opens with a short mindfulness talk led by Alison from Little Coco Studio. You'll explore how slowing down and focusing on the present moment can support well-being, embrace imperfection, and how the steady rhythm of hand stitching can become a mindful practice in itself. 

Then you'll learn the traditional Japanese technique of decorative stitching as you create patterns on a pre-made denim pouch. The pouch is the perfect size for keeping your pens and stationery in one place (11" × 7").

Choose from two sessions:
Morning: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Afternoon: 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

No experience needed, and beginners are welcome. The fee is $125 and includes all materials. The workshop takes place near the Junction neighbourhood in Toronto, and we'll email the exact address to all participants one week before the event.
