About this event

Hobbies • Knitting

Step into the timeless art of Boro stitching, an ancient Japanese technique born from the practice of repairing and strengthening textiles through layers of intricate, beautiful designs. Once a necessity, Boro has become a celebrated art form that embodies sustainability, creativity, and care for our belongings.

In this hands-on session led by Julie and John from Art4Space CIC, you’ll learn the basics of Boro stitching while creating your own unique fabric bookmark. This workshop is beginner-friendly, welcoming anyone curious to explore stitching as a mindful, sustainable craft.

Together we’ll reflect on the values behind Boro — making do, repairing with pride, and finding beauty in imperfection — while enjoying the satisfaction of crafting something truly personal.

All materials will be provided. Just bring your curiosity and leave with new skills, inspiration, and a handmade bookmark to treasure.
