Temari (hand ball in Japanese) are folk art balls that were introduced in to Japan from China around the 7th century AD. They were made using old kimonos that were formed into a ball and wrapped with strips of silk fabric. Over time, these balls have become an art form with more elaborate and delicate embroidery covering the surface. Today Temari are made and given as gifts. Some even have a message in the centre while others may have a bell.
This class will cover the basics of ball construction along with marking out the grid for traditional designs. You will have the choice of using either traditional or more contemporary freestyle embroidery giving your Temari your own twist. Your completed embroidered ball can be hung or placed in a bowl as decoration to be enjoyed by all.
If you have enjoyed this class you may wish to consider taking the Intermediate Temari Balls class
The class kit will include everything you require to complete the project. You may like to bring your own embroidery scissors and you will be able to borrow ring frames, magnifiers and lights (if needed) on the day.
