Learn the traditional Japanese method of Kami-ito, turning washi/Japanese paper into beautiful threads with our current Artist in Residence visiting from Japan, Misako Nakahira.

You will fold, cut, roll, and separate the washi to create fibre strands that can later be applied to knitting, embroidery, and weaving. Experiment and add materials to the paper to create your own unique threads. 

Misako Nakahira has a Bachelor of Textiles and a Master of Mixed Media from the Kyoto University of Art and Design where she is also a lecturer. Her practice includes paper weaving, tapestry, ikat, felting, macramé, and yarn spinning.
