Class Description:
Discover the beautiful Japanese art of Kinusaiga, a textile technique that transforms fabric into richly textured artwork—no sewing required.
Using a foam board, simple carving tools, and your choice of fabrics, you'll create a framed piece of art by carefully tucking fabric into a pre-cut design. Choose from a collection of templates provided in class, or bring your own simple design to make something uniquely personal.
This workshop is also a wonderful opportunity to give sentimental fabrics a second life. Turn a favorite concert T-shirt into wall art, incorporate vintage linens, or create a meaningful keepsake using fabric from someone special. Whether your piece is playful, decorative, or deeply personal, you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind artwork displayed in a beautiful wooden frame.
No sewing experience is necessary, and all basic materials, including the foam board, frame, tools, and a selection of fabrics, are provided. You're also encouraged to bring your own fabric if you'd like to create something with special meaning.

Denise Ambrosi is the founder and creative director of These Hands Makers Collective, a community art studio dedicated to helping people reconnect with creativity through hands-on experiences.
A lifelong maker with a passion for exploring traditional crafts through a modern lens, Denise loves introducing students to art forms they may have never encountered before... from pottery and perfume making to fiber arts and paper crafts. Her workshops emphasize curiosity over perfection, inviting participants to slow down, experiment, and create meaningful objects by hand.
Inspired by the stories we carry and the objects we keep, Denise believes the most memorable projects are the ones that become part of our lives long after class ends.
