This discussion delves into
traditional East Asian repair methods: from the importance of embracing wabi
sabi to the sashiko and boro reinforcement techniques. We will also
discuss how Western cultures embraced East Asian repair practices and their
transformation into Slow Stitch, Visible Mending, and Mindful Repair movements.
Whether you’re a textile enthusiast or a slow fashion activist, this illustrated talk will offer an engaging introduction to the ancient roots of repair practices in East Asia and its adaptations to contemporary Western culture. If you are interested in diving deep into the practice of sashiko we recommend that you book the other events of the Sashiko Series (book here). However, you can also book this event on its own.
