Sashiko Embroidery Workshop in Bangkok: Meditative Stitching & Japanese Textile Art

Discover the timeless beauty of Sashiko — a traditional Japanese embroidery technique blending utility, mindfulness, and design. Originally born out of necessity to repair and reinforce clothing, Sashiko (meaning “little stabs”) has grown into a celebrated art form admired for its geometric patterns and calming, meditative process.
