Kimekomi Ornament Workshop

Create beautiful, sustainable holiday decorations using a traditional Japanese technique.

In this festive workshop, you’ll learn the art of Kimekomi—a traditional Japanese method where fabric is tucked into grooves on a carved surface to form striking patterns. It’s a beautiful, meditative craft and a perfect way to repurpose scrap fabric into meaningful, heirloom ornaments.

What You’ll Learn

• How to divide and mark your ornament into segments (like slicing an orange)
• Tips for choosing and cutting fabric based on colour, pattern, and placement
• How to neatly tuck fabric into the grooves using simple tools
• How to finish your ornament with ribbons and decorative touches

This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, enjoy some seasonal creativity, and make lasting holiday keepsakes. You’ll leave with three completed ornaments and the skills to create many more at home.
