Kogin is one of the greatest Japanese traditional embroidery techniques, which originated over 200 years ago in Tsugaru, Aomori (Northern Japan). This technique is now very popular with existing sewing enthusiasts who are attracted to its beautiful and unique stitching patterns in colourful materials.

In this fun and hands-on live streaming workshop, you will learn KOGIN stitching techniques with choices of colour of thread and make two ornaments which can be used as a bookmark, an ornament decoration on Mothers Day flowers or bottle of wine.

All the materials are imported from Japan so you will get to enjoy an authentic and high-quality experience.

For all the people, I hope this opportunity would be a relaxed and enjoyable time with a hint of creativity and are able to maximize their happy moment in this toughest time.

Perfect for beginners. School children are welcome too!
