DRZC Sewing Master Genko Rainwater teaches this six-week series, which looks at sewing as practice. Each week’s lesson will include history and theory, how-to instructions, and hands-on practice with real projects (DRZC’s or your own). We will begin with sewing Buddha’s Robe (kesa, rakusu, wagessa), then move to Zen clothing (meditation robe, samue, kimono), and finally sitting aids (zabuton, zafu). If you are already working on something or wish to start something new for yourself in any of these categories, you are invited to join us to sew in community.
Equipment and most materials provided. Register with Genko (see above) or show up for the first night of class with payment.
