Kinusaiga (key-nu-sigh-ga) is a traditional Japanese craft that transforms colorful fabric scraps into detailed mosaic-like pictures without any sewing. This is a fun and easy-to-learn form of art and looks very precise. You will choose from many provided designs and use a unique type of “fabric” that will make your art very distinctive. If students are not able to complete their project in the 2-hr class, they will be able to take the necessary materials with them to complete it at home. Ages 16+.
