Boro (more accurately ‘Boro boro’), meaning ‘rags or tatters’ is the art of repairing fabric using scraps and stitching.

Past event - Boro Repair workshop, 5 July

Boro was used out of necessity in Japan to prolong the life of clothes and bedding due to poverty and the scarcity of textiles. They are now highly prized in Japan. Your tutor is Kay Davis, Coreset resident textile artist and costume maker, who takes her inspiration from Japanese textiles disciplines including sashimi, boro and shibori.
