Monthly Discussion Group - MEMBER ONLY!

This is a monthly, PRIVATE discussion group for Atsushi Futatsuya’s current and/or past students and his active Patreon supporters.

It’s a more authentic "Japanese community" style online group to share thoughts and deepen our understanding of sashiko as well as Japan and its culture while doing sashiko (unshin) together.

In addition to Sashiko, the participants of this group share one more "thing" in common - THE ATSUSHI FUTATSUYA of Upcycle Stitches!!!  (upcyclestitches.com/)

Since Atsushi-san will be with us in the discussion group (hopefully most of the time,) it's a great place to talk with him directly and also get to know other members of the community including those who reside in Japan.

• The language used in this group is ENGLISH.  (with Japanese/English interpretation as needed.)
• There is no fee to attend this meeting but one-time registration is required to become a member.
• This is a friendly discussion group and NOT a place to learn sashiko skills OR do show-and-tell of your projects.
• Atsushi-san will be there (whenever he can!). 
• Please consider supporting Atsushi & Keiko in Patreon where they offer 150+  articles for you to read to understand what is  Sashiko for them.
• Please use the email address you signed up with for Atsushi-san's Online Sashiko Class or other In-Person Sashiko Workshops. We will check your eligibility before each session.
