Never heard of Kinusaiga? You’re not alone — and that’s part of the fun!

Kinusaiga is a beautiful Japanese-inspired fabric art technique that uses small pieces of fabric to create colorful, textured designs — with no sewing required. Think of it as a cross between a mosaic, collage, and quilt, created by carefully tucking fabric into your design.

During this POP UP at Paper & String Books, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step as you learn the basics of Kinusaiga and create your own finished Book Themed fabric art piece to take home.

No sewing experience or special crafting skills are needed — this workshop is all about slowing down, playing with color and pattern, and trying something new.

✨ Beginner friendly
✨ No sewing required
✨ Step-by-step instruction
✨ A beautiful finished project to take home
