FCQ Regular Meeting

Program: June Coburn “Boro: Making Something Out of Nothing”

Boro stitching is a Japanese textile art form that involves repairing and reworking clothing and bedding using scraps of fabric and running stitches.

The story of boro in Japan is the story of lives lived in extreme poverty, by hardworking people who had little, but still admired beauty and kept/repaired their valuable textiles—not just for years, but for lifetimes.
