Temari Ball for Beginners
Learn the Japanese art of temari and how to wrap, measure and embroider a ball. Ladies of 17th century Japan would challenge each other to see who could embroider the most beautiful designs using scrunched up pieces of silk to create the core of the ball. Also originally used as toys for children, the temari balls became ever more intricate and ultimately became the decorative items they remain today. As an alternative to the workshop, a kit with online tutorial is available to purchase now - click here

This tutorial includes instructions for a 2nd design for you to try after the workshop (pictured below).
