Karmigurumi Kinusaiga Workshop: Painting with Fabric

Event Details

Create a one-of-a-kind portrait of your fur baby using Kinusaiga, a Japanese fabric art technique.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll create your own pet portrait using a canvas prepared from your submitted pet photo. You’ll bring your pet to life by choosing from colorful fabric scraps and tucking the fabric into pre-cut grooves to create a textured, one-of-a-kind artwork.

Before the workshop: Please email a clear photo of your pet so I can prepare your canvas ahead of time. More information on the "How it Works" section

Create for a Cause 🐾
Not only will you create a special portrait of your furry friend, but your participation will also help give back. 100% of the workshop profits will be donated to a Texas Humane Heroes (https://humaneheroes.org/)
