Sep 2023：Craft Club Social

Sessions will be held online (no in-person option)

Sep 6 (Wednesday): Paper Craft Lover Seminar!

Instructor (volunteer): Kyoko Sugita

“KUSUDAMA : Paper Chain Decoration”

Normally, to complete a single Kusudma, many pieces have to be folded. But, this time with the introduction of the “Yagura” design, it can be completed with twelve pieces. Once you get the hang of it, you can complete one in as little as 30 minutes. Since they can be linked together in a chain, it’s also possible to make them longer over time and create a larger piece when you have the time.

Sep 20 (Wednesday): Knitting Lover Seminar!

Instructor (volunteer): Kaneko Nakahara

“Let’s knit various kinds of cushions!”

Combine motifs from your favorite patterns, such as floral designs, to create cute seat cushions!

How to Join

RSVP to our Craft Club coordinator by email（craftclub@jss.ca）- please indicate which session you would like to attend. The coordinator will send the Zoom link by a day before the session day.

You will also receive information about the craftwork for what you registered to (in Japanese). That means you can start working on it even before the session day! During the session, you can sew/knit together with fellow Japanese-speaking craft lovers, share your work with them, and enjoy chatting (the topic can be anything, not limited to arts & crafts).

Online

Only for your first time attending, pre-registration via the Online Registration Form is required, for you to read and agree to our online program rules. Please also send an email to the Craft Club Coordinator (craftclub@jss.ca), indicating the session you would like to attend.
