This class is a lovely introduction to the craft. The instructors, Haku and Junale, provide historical background before guiding you through your first steps of Shinko. Their English is good, making it easy to ask questions or enjoy a friendly conversation. Beyond the craft itself, you'll learn about their unique natural coloring techniques and get to explore the beautiful collective workshop space. The store is also a must-see! I attended solo, but the atmosphere was so welcoming that us three students and teachers all went to lunch together afterward (not included! :) ).

Thank you very much for an educational and interesting experiential workshop. Jun was patient and professional, I really enjoyed it.

I loved this workshop so much, the team that led it was amazing as well as the ones who attended. We were given an introduction to Sashiko first: what is it? what‘s the history? after that we made our first item where our teachers guided us through the whole process. We also had a short tour in the atelier (dyeing room & showroom). They have also an amazing shop where you can buy some high quality & beautiful products. All in all, it felt like creating in an inspiring environment with your friends on a chill afternoon in Osaka???????? PS: there is a photographer taking pictures during the session, which are shared afterwards with the attendees.

Perfect in every way! Highly recommend this unique experience. The class was well paced and informative and gave insight to this ancient art practice unique to Japan.
