Kinusaiga-Inspired Fabric Art Workshop

Make a framed textile artwork using the Japanese art of fabric tucking at this textiles class in Stewkley.



3 hours Class size 1 to 5 guests       £43

Discover the Japanese-inspired art of Kinusaiga in a relaxed garden studio workshop in Stewkley, Buckinghamshire, and create your own colourful, framed textile artwork using a beautiful no-sew fabric-tucking technique.
After discovering this style of textile art on a trip to Japan, where I saw stunning large-scale Kinusaiga pieces, I wanted to create a more accessible version that everyone could enjoy making for themselves – and that's exactly what this workshop is about.
Working from a simple design template, you'll learn how to cut, layer and tuck patterned fabrics into a foam base to build your own unique piece of art. With a lovely range of colourful cotton and patterned fabrics to choose from, no two finished pieces are ever quite the same. No sewing skills or previous experience are needed – I'll guide you through the whole process step by step, so you can relax and enjoy the making.
By the end, you'll leave with your own finished, framed Kinusaiga-inspired artwork, ready to hang and admire at home. Everything's included, from the wooden frame, foam base and adhesive to the fabrics and full use of tools and equipment, plus tea, coffee and biscuits to keep you going in this small, relaxed group setting.
Perfect for beginners, textile lovers, or anyone after a few hours of doing something creative and a little different.

Hi, I’m Gemini — an Art & Design teacher and the founder of Calm Bazaar, based in the village of Stewkley. Creativity has always been a huge part of my life, and after years of teaching in schools, I began creating small, calm workshops where people can slow down, make something beautiful, and enjoy time for themselves.
My workshops are inspired by travel, culture and traditional crafts — especially my Vietnamese lantern decorating sessions, where you’ll work with authentic bamboo frames and fabrics to create something truly unique. I love sharing skills in a way that feels relaxed, welcoming and achievable for beginners, so no experience is ever needed.
Teaching is at the heart of what I do. With many years of classroom experience, I guide you step by step in a supportive environment, helping you build confidence while enjoying the process of making. My sessions are intentionally small and personal, creating a cosy, friendly atmosphere where creativity feels accessible rather than overwhelming.
If you’re looking for a mindful, creative experience — whether coming alone or with friends — you’ll leave with something handmade, a sense of calm, and the joy of trying something new.
