WHEN:
Join us for the return of our popular Craft and Cocktail event, Thursday, September 17th, from 6:00-8:00pm.
WHAT:
We will be practicing Kinusaiga, a popular Japanese art form! Kinusaiga is a traditional Japanese art from created in 1987 by Maeno Takashi. The word Kinusaiga translates to “silk picture” and is about valuing resourcefulness and giving leftover materials a second life!
Each participant will get a 6″x6″ foam board, double sided tape, and materials to cut the design into their foam. We will have SOME scrap fabric available, but this is all about using what is around your house and repurposing it into something beautiful! Bring in old blankets, shirts, anything that you want to repurpose! Limited design templates are available, but you are free to create whatever you would like. You will also get two drink tickets to enjoy two specialty made cocktails while you craft.
It will be a fun night of crafting, sipping on yummy drinks, and enjoying community here out on the preserve!
