Welcome to the relaxing Japanese Art form of Kimekomi. This class will introduce you to the basic designs of an over 500 year old craft. Kimekomi means “to tuck into a groove”. You will learn the technique of how to place and tuck fabric into the cuts on a polystyrene ball to create a unique ornament.

A different design is taught each month. You will follow a 5-step process, creating simple designs first and working your way up to Intermediate designs. The Beginner/Intermediate designs must be learned before attending the Advanced classes. 

All materials will be provided and will include:

  • A polystyrene ball
  • Fabric
  • Cording and Ribbons
  • Bead caps
  • Pearl tipped stainless steel pins

 

Hello! My name is Joanne Infante, and I am looking forward to bringing the wonderful, relaxing Japanese technique of Kimekomi ornament making to our Library patrons. I am a Mom to Three, Nana to Eight and a former PreSchool teacher. I have been a lifelong crafter and have worked with different forms of crafting mediums, with Fiber Arts always being my favorite. For the past fourteen years, I have been making unique ornaments using polystyrene balls and fabric. This has become more than a hobby; it is a passion. The design possibilities are endless and it is an Art that is easily learned.

After moving here to Cape May County in 2017, I wanted to share my love of crafting with the community, and founded the Cape May Crafters. This in-person Social club has members of all ages, with a diverse knowledge of crafting techniques, and meets weekly in Lower Township. I would like to say “Thank you” to the Cape May County Library for allowing me the opportunity to teach this, and I am sure you will find this crafting experience as rewarding as I do. See you all at the classes!
