Temari is a traditional handicraft that originated in the home. Grandmothers would stitch them by hand for their granddaughters, one needle at a time, with the wish: "May she grow into a gentle, well-rounded person." Wrapping intention into a sphere—that is temari. In this session, you'll create a small temari that fits in the palm of your hand. You'll wrap thread around a base, mark your pattern, and stitch geometric designs using those marks as your guide. No advanced hand skills are needed. As you repeat the same stitching motions, star-like shapes gradually emerge on the sphere. This magical moment when the design surfaces is the most wonderful part of the experience. Finally, you'll attach a decorative cord, and you'll be able to take your finished temari home that same day. It's small enough to attach to a bag or key ring. All tools will be provided. We'll even lend you scissors, so please come empty-handed. Our youngest crafter was just 6 years old, and they completed a beautiful temari from start to finish.
We'll show you a finished sample first. You'll choose your thread colors to begin.
We'll briefly explain why the shape is spherical, and who has traditionally made temari for whom.
Mark your guide points, then stitch thread between them in sequence. This is the longest and most rewarding part.
