Temari: Making Japanese Thread Balls (Morning Session) In-Person
Presented by Textile Artist Mary Hussey
Temari balls were introduced to Japan from China, and are crafted with simple materials in different geometric and ornate patterns. Temari balls were used to play kemari, a type of ancient hacky sack, and became a common New Year’s gift for children in Japan.
Explore this beautiful craft and create your own temari ball! Registrants will receive a prepared ball and two skeins to stitch with.
