Temari is an ancient Japanese needlecraft. “Te” means hand, and “mari” means ball in Japanese.

A temari is a ball decorated with threads in geometric shapes and patterns. In a wrapping pattern, the needle is only used for starting and finishing. The division created on the ball allows for various patterns, you can choose which patterns you want to use, from the displayed pieces. You then select your own yarn colors for the project, ensuring that everyone is able to create a personal temari. There will be ample personal attention for each participant.

About Sandra: “Temari entered my life over 30 years ago and has never left. Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching many classes both in the studio and especially on location in the Netherlands and Belgium. To support independent development of temari knowledge, I have authored several workbooks. The use of colors continues to fascinate me, as do the geometric shapes of the patterns.”
