Would you like to hear more about kimono and kimono fabrics?
I give regular talks to sewing/women's groups about Japanese kimono, kimono fabrics and the techniques used to produce them, e.g. kasuri (ikat); katazome (stencil-printing); yuzen (hand-painting); tsutsugaki (free-hand paste-resist) and shibori (tie-dye). I bring some stock along and there is plenty of opportunity for handling the fabrics and trying on the kimono! I like to keep the tone casual and there are lots of laughs along the way! A selection of kimono and fabrics is made available after the talk. If you would like to attend one of my talks, please see below for my current schedule.
If you have a group that would enjoy hearing about Japanese kimono and fabrics, then please contact me at info@clothaholics or call me on 01782 723 120 for more details or to book. I can travel within about 100 mile radius of Stoke on Trent, where I live or further than that if accommodation can be provided, and I do enjoy exploring other parts of the country...!
