AI summary · From the event listing

Tuck bold African prints into a grooved panel to make art. Japanese kinusaiga, no sewing, no needle, no perfection. A SHIFT HAPPENS Workshop hosted by The Restoration Refugee It looks like a quilt, hangs like a painting, and doesn't take a single stitch. Kinusaiga (key-new-sigh-ga) is a modern Japanese art form born from recycled silk kimonos. You tuck fabric scraps into grooves cut into a foam panel, piece by piece, until a picture appears. We're taking Japan to the African diaspora with bold and bright African prints. The result looks like it took a week. It took one afternoon. Come as you are: a little frazzled, a little curious, zero crafting experience. The tucking is quiet, repetitive, and weirdly addictive. Your hands stay busy while your mind gets a break. What we'll do Learn the tuck: how to work your template and layer pattern on pattern Watch your design come alive, one groove at a time You'll leave with Your own kinusaiga art piece, ready to display A new skill you'll want to come back to No art experience needed. Imperfection encouraged.
