2024.10/5-7 Tatsuke Workshop Instructor Certification Course

TATSUKE WORKSHOP CERTIFIED COURSE

This course is for those who would like to learn the "tatsuke" traditions of Itoshiro, acquire the techniques, and then hold their own tatsuke workshops.

It's been over 10 years since I started making tatsuke. It's been about 8 years since I started holding workshops and spreading the word about it. I've taught many people how to make them, but in recent years I've been getting requests from people who want to hold their own workshops.

Therefore, we have decided to hold a course (assuming the use of a sewing machine) for potential instructors .

This lecture is

1. Participate in the 2-night, 3-day course. 2. Submit an assignment after the course (homework to sew about 3 pieces of different sizes). 3. Receive a certificate of completion and a bookmark for holding your own workshop.

It consists of 1 and 2, and those who complete both will receive 3 as a certified instructor. (The participation fee includes the costs of 1, 2, and 3.)

The conditions for participation are as follows:

・People who can use a sewing machine ・People who want to hold future tatsuke workshops ・People who are eager to learn more about Itoshiro and Itoshiro tatsuke

You will stay in Itoshiro for 2 nights and 3 days and make tatami with a sewing machine. During the workshop, we will teach you about the items that are frequently asked about and detailed techniques.

If someone who has completed this course wants to hold a workshop, Ishiteshiro Clothing Store will support the workshop by helping to publicize it.

This will be the fourth time the course is being held, and if you become a certified instructor, you will be able to expand your circle of contact with instructors from the first three sessions!
