Introductory Japanese Temari Workshop
We're planning a second class - check back for dates
If you have never heard of or seen this incredible Japanese art form, then you are missing something very special. Temari is the process of decorating a ball with hand-stiched woven patterns. Temari balls were originally made as a toy from the silk threads of kimonos. Today, they make wonderful gifts and collectibles.
