🎟️ Plus each workshop ticket includes an entry to win a $25 gift card from Saltwater Gifts & Books! 🛍️
Kinusaiga (roughly translated as "silk picture") is a traditional Japanese craft that creates detailed mosaic-like pictures from fabric scraps. By gently tucking fabric into pre-cut grooves on a foam board, you’ll create a richly layered design that resembles a fabric “painting” or quilt.
Relax, unwind, and tap into your creativity as you play with color, pattern, and texture. Whether you’re new to crafting or a seasoned maker, Kinusaiga offers a meditative, hands-on experience with impressive results — think florals, landscapes, animals, or abstract designs, all brought to life with fabric.
We will have some assorted fabrics to select from but if you have specific fabrics you would like to use, please bring them with you!

- Entry to win a $25 gift card from Saltwater Gifts & Books!
- A 2-3 hour instructor-guided workshop

DIY Experience
DIY Experience
DIY projects aren't about perfection. Every piece turns out unique, and that's part of what makes it special.
A natural wood workshop means your sign may have random cracks, chips, knots and other natural blemishes that give it character! Some peeling may occur. Fabrics, ceramics, resin, etc. may have minor inconsistencies.
Paint, stain, glue, resin or other materials provided may stain or damage clothes so please dress accordingly, grab your apron, and rollup your sleeves!
We will do our very best to minimize disturbances to your items and make everything look intentional, but due to the nature of the workshop we can make no guarantees.
Please keep in mind, no item is absolutely perfect, as it is hand crafted, but it will certainly be worthy of showing off!
