We have just started a totally new craft and are really enjoying drawing our designs. We are always looking for new people to join our very friendly and informal group. Sometimes called 'silk painting' or 'fabric painting', Kinusagai is a traditional Japanese art form that creates vibrant, mosaic-like pictures by tucking fabric scraps into grooves cut into a backing board. It is essentially a "no-sew" method of quilting or painting with fabric.

Why it's Popular

Eco-Friendly: It is an excellent scrap-busting project that repurposes tiny fabric remnants that would otherwise go to waste.

No Sewing Required: It allows people who love quilting and textiles to create stunning, intricate pieces without needing a sewing machine or thread.

Accessible: Modern foam-board kits make the craft highly beginner-friendly and much easier to carve than traditional wood. 

All equipment is provided for a small £2.50 contribution.
