I enjoyed this slow-paced and relaxing experience. Our instructor Nene was very kind and welcoming while providing a lot of help in showing us what we needed to do as well as chatting causally, making it a comfortable environment. This is something that anyone can enjoy, though it will take some time.
We are glad that the relaxed environment allowed you to fully immerse yourself in the craft at your own pace. Knowing that Nene was able to offer the right amount of help while keeping the atmosphere friendly and approachable is fantastic feedback, and it’s rewarding to hear that the time spent with us felt so worthwhile and accessible to everyone.👏
This class is a lovely introduction to the craft. The instructors, Haku and Junale, provide historical background before guiding you through your first steps of Shinko. Their English is good, making it easy to ask questions or enjoy a friendly conversation. Beyond the craft itself, you'll learn about their unique natural coloring techniques and get to explore the beautiful collective workshop space. The store is also a must-see! I attended solo, but the atmosphere was so welcoming that us three students and teachers all went to lunch together afterward (not included! :) ).
It’s great to hear the workshop provided such a welcoming introduction to the craft. We’re delighted Haku and Junale’s guidance, along with the historical context and natural dye techniques, helped make the experience both engaging and enjoyable. It’s also wonderful that the atmosphere felt so friendly and open, even for a solo visit. Thank you very much for sharing your experience and kind feedback.🙌
Thank you very much for an educational and interesting experiential workshop. Jun was patient and professional, I really enjoyed it.
It’s great to hear that the workshop felt both educational and engaging. We’re glad Jun’s patient and professional guidance helped make the experience enjoyable, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us!
I loved this workshop so much, the team that led it was amazing as well as the ones who attended. We were given an introduction to Sashiko first: what is it? what‘s the history? after that we made our first item where our teachers guided us through the whole process. We also had a short tour in the atelier (dyeing room & showroom). They have also an amazing shop where you can buy some high quality & beautiful products. All in all, it felt like creating in an inspiring environment with your friends on a chill afternoon in Osaka🫶💯 PS: there is a photographer taking pictures during the session, which are shared afterwards with the attendees.
Thank you so much for joining our sashiko workshop and sharing your wonderful impressions. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the creative process and the relaxed atmosphere of the atelier. It means a lot that you felt inspired while stitching and exploring the space. We’re also happy you liked the photos—capturing those calm, creative moments is one of our favorite parts too.😊

Enjoyed an amazing Sashiko Workshop with June in a very relaxing environment. he shared with me the basic knowledge about Sashiko and showed me different Sashiko creations. The best part of the workshop wad that he guided you through the process of making a small Sashiko creation your self using various stiches. This is a must do workshop if you would like to gain a basic knowledge of this great Japanese craft.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re so happy to hear you had such a meaningful and enjoyable time at the workshop. It sounds like a truly special experience.
