This Sunday (5/2 5pm GMT), I am joining @textiletapes to share about the Sashiko we have been practicing. It is about an hour long Live Streaming focusing on textiles with students at the V&A/RCA (@vamuseum). It is my sincere pleasure to share my experience with the future of textile. I hope I can go back to school one day… Now, I gotta save money & I would like to take care of family first (I know many complete their academics with taking care of families. It is merely my choice with understanding my  capacity.)

As you know, I try to be “extra difficult” on SNS. It is because some people easily cross the boundaries and keep hurting me with good intention. However, it doesn’t mean that I will bark at anyone at any point. When I receive a proper introduction & greeting, I would be happy to do what I can do. “Hey, tell me what Sashiko is!” will not get them what they want. I am not Google. Just remember the time when we were somewhat polite. Before the cellphone, when you have to call the landline to your (girl/boy) friend, you would never know who would pick up the phone – can be her father. It won’t hurt to be extra polite regardless of the culture (especially it is important in Japanese culture).

Please check my website for what I can do (for commission, contribution, & interviews). If it is for an academic purpose, I will do my best without asking fees. It will be an interesting time to share the Sashiko with answering questions from current students. I hope they won’t freeze me with big questions like “what do you think about the fashion pollution” (I got this kind of big question at FIT before).

5/2の日曜日、英国時間の夕方5時（なので日本時間だと深夜）に、RCA （ロイヤル・カレッジ・オブ・アート）とV&Aとで構成される修士課程の学生さんのインタビューを受けます。とても丁寧に「光栄です！」ってご挨拶を下ったのですが、RCAとか世界が違いすぎて、こちらこそ大丈夫なんだろうか……と少し不安ですが、芸術・アートの未来を担う方々とお話ができるのは本当にありがたい話です。アーカイブも残るとのことだったので、またご覧頂けたら嬉しいです。刺し子だけやってきた人間ですが、芸術界隈の方に刺し子を見つけて頂くことで、芸術分野でお話をすることになるとは人生は本当に不思議です。
