Kinusaiga with Happy Arts
Tuesday, October 20th 5:30—7:00 PM in the Creatorspace!

Kinusaiga (絹彩画) is a traditional Japanese art often called no-sew quilting or silk painting. The process is done by using various types of fabrics like sari silk, batik, and cotton to create a three dimensional stained glass or mosaic effect using a tucking process. Eco-Friendly: It’s a perfect upcycling project that gives new life to leftover fabric. There are no needles or glue used to produce these beautiful pieces of art!

This event is led by Jenny and Robin from Happy Arts Events.
This event is for ages 18+. Registration is required.
