You will be learning a textile art developed in the 1980’s in Japan using fabric as your paint brush. This does not require advance knowledge of sewing or painting. Only your imagination. Kinu means silk and saiga is a means of painting a picture in Japanese. Originally wood was used and grooves were made and the fabric was tucked into those grooves to form the picture, now they use 1 inch insulation boards cut to size.
We will be using the insulation foam board to do a 6 x 6 ” picture in fabric chosen by you. We will have simple patterns ready for you to select from and the pattern copied onto double sided adhesive paper. This will require your imagination, dexterity with X-acto knife, a punch tool, and fabric. This is a fun art and one that can be done at home, Easy for gifts, simple patterns take little time.
