Temari, meaning “ball made by hand,” is a traditional art that embodies cultural traits such as attention to detail, discipline and beauty in simplicity.
Temari balls were originally made from old kimono swatches by mothers for children to play with. In today’s world, they can be found on Christmas trees or displayed as cherished items that embody their owners’ passion for art.
In this class, students will start at an absolute beginner’s level, and move from wrapping foam balls with yarn to creating complete balls from scratch featuring basic patterns made with cotton and silk threads.
