Thom Koster will present a program on Temari Balls
7:00 PM EST
Temari, or "hand ball" in Japanese, is a Japanese folk art and handicraft made by embroidery on a thread ball. Originally made for children hand ball games they have been elevated over the centuries to become works of art. Since this embroidery is on a sphere there are interesting things that can be done with very limited embroidery knowledge.
In this talk Thom will cover what brought him to this craft, the history behind it and some of the traditional elements you will see in some different designs of temari.
