I appreciate the feedback that they like my writing – some even say it is like a poem. The instructor in the Writing Center (in Collage) will be proud of (or even surprised at) this feedback. Well. I am aware that my English isn’t very good in the most standard. My goal is to encourage readers to read between the lines. I want you to imagine (reflect) while reading what I share. If one looks for a quick answer, my writing is a scribble. If they think/imagine while reading, I hope they get something out of my stories. I don’t know what resonates with you, but I try my best to keep sharing.

The Sashiko I teach is like that. Needle Techniques, Skill, and Designs… all of them are important, but secondary. Of course, I teach all of them thoroughly. On top of that, I want them to learn how Sashiko may offer you a different perspective in life. That’s the beauty of learning something different, and Sashiko is indeed something new to those who aren’t familiar with Japanese culture.

I received a note that the 3-Days Workshop I am offering in Stuart, FL between 1/31 to 2/2 are just above the minimum enrollment. If you would like to learn what Sashiko really is for us, and make these 3-days available for Sashiko, I believe I can offer an “eye-opening” experience for you. It is rare to have this small group workshop for 3-days (it is rare to offer In-person workshop anyway in this pandemic). Well, I am sorry making this post an advertisement post. To be honest, I feel bad for the organizer who has been great in this pandemic. I would like to support this type of local studio as well. Your support, including spreading the words, would be appreciated! The link is available on my Story, or simply visit https://www.ayafiberstudio.com/ to look for Sashiko Workshop.

現状での対面式のワークショップの集客はなかなかに難しいのでしょうか。主催者から「開催はするよ」とご連絡は頂いていたのですが、ギリギリで最低履行人数をクリアしたようで。これまで毎回キャンセル待ちが出るような状態だったので、頭を冷やす良い機会になりました。私の頭を冷やす機会はそれとして、主催者の方に申し訳ない気持ちもあるので、もう来週のワークショップですが宣伝させて頂きました。ま、開催する以上利益は出るんだろうし、コロナ禍を考えると対面でワークショップができること自体有り難いのだけど、でもやっぱり引き受けた仕事は全力で且つ巻き込む皆が喜べるような結果が出せたらと思うのです。残り数日ですが宣伝頑張ってみますー。

I’ve always enjoyed your writing 🤗🖋️
💐
Thank you for offering a comprehensive approach to Sashiko. For me, the meditative aspect of fiber arts has always been integral and inseparable from the end result. I do wish I lived closer to Florida so that I could take advantage of this workshop.
It would be a dream come true for me to be there in your workshop… hope it will some day
Me encanta leerte aunque yo del inglés lo tengo que traducir al español pero me parece que entiendo bien lo que queres transmitir! Lastima que no puedo hacer los cursos porque no sé inglés! Me gustaria que algún día pienses en algo como para los países de habla hispana Yo igual te sigo con mucho entusiasmo!!👏
I had hoped I could attend and looked into the details. Sadly, my current circumstances requiring travel won’t allow for this rare opportunity. I’ve sent it onto a textile artist friend who is in Florida, I hope she can go or will spread the word. It means so much that you are coming to do this! Were it not for the virus I could have done this. Don’t lose heart, you are a real draw for people, but the circumstances and Florida’s issues are a complicating factor. Those who do attend are in for an amazing experience, I am sure.
