Temari is a decorative folk art from Japan, used in the past to make toys. Nowadays, Temari is used not only for toys, but for beautiful gifts and decorations. Participants will receive a partially finished Temari ball to finish wrapping with thread. After marking the wrapped ball with stitching guidelines, each person will begin to stitch their chosen pattern. Instructor Heather Evert is certified by the Japan Temari Association.
