  $135 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Discover a contemporary take on the Japanese tradition of sashiko-inspired hand stitching while transforming beautiful discarded fabric samples into a unique piece of wearable art.
In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, you’ll compose, stitch, and create your own one-of-a-kind fibre art necklace to take home and wear.
Join multidisciplinary artist Shelly Lazar for a playful exploration of fabric, colour, composition, and hand stitching.
Working with carefully selected fabric samples that were destined to be discarded, you’ll learn how simple materials can be transformed into something personal and beautiful.
Everything you need will be waiting for you:
  • Five different repurposed fabric samples
  • Five colours of embroidery cotton
  • Your own set of embroidery needles
  • A necklace ready for your finished fibre artwork
Shelly will guide you through the process of selecting and arranging your fabrics to create your own unique composition. You’ll learn how to tack the layers together, then use simple decorative hand-stitching techniques to add colour, texture, and pattern.
Finally, you will finish your piece and attach it to the necklace, transforming your small textile artwork into something you can wear.
No previous embroidery or sewing experience is necessary. The emphasis is on experimenting, enjoying the process, and creating something that is entirely your own.
All materials are supplied, and you’ll leave with your completed one-of-a-kind fibre art necklace.
