BLOCK PRINT AND STITCH:A Māya x Keiko ExperienceDiscover the harmony of printing and stitching in this one-of-a-kind workshop, which combines traditional woodblock printing techniques with the art of sashiko stitching.(This workshop is offered in English and German; we have a German/English translator to guide native speakers during the experience, if needed.) A Creative Exploration in Slowcrafs and MindfulmakingThis print and slow stitch experience is more than exploring technique—it’s a thoughtful, hands-on experience created to inspire connection and creative exploration. With this workshop, we will focus on our print thinking philosophy, we know what we love and who we are, and we are living it on purpose.
Led by artist and textile researcher Lizane and textile and sashiko artist Keiko, this workshop invites participants into a quiet dialogue between two traditional practices. We will explore the history of Dabu and Bagru woodblock printing and explore block print techniques using eco-friendly inks on fabric. In the afternoon, we will continue working on our prints and develop ideas with Japanese sashiko stitching. Together, we’ll print, stitch, and slow down—transforming cloth into functional art layered with patterns, pigments and prints. Keiko's teachings, as Lizane's sashiko teacher, inspire this special edition in print and sashiko. We want to share this experience as a grounding, meditative tool for creative growth and exploration. It is also inspired by Lizane’s ongoing exploration of eco-friendly inks, natural dyes and earth pigments, used in printing and mark-making. This workshop is a space to explore textures and techniques—but also to reconnect with yourself and your creative voice. Whether you're new to sashiko or printmaking, or seeking new ways to integrate slow craft into your practice, this session offers both structure and freedom, craft and experimentation, facilitated by two expert professionals. At Māya, we conduct textile research, explore print crafts, and modern sustainable design. In research into the slow crafts and eco-crafting techniques, we were introduced to sashiko. Lizane discovered a creative synergy in working with Keiko, and we are happy to open up this creative exploration to others drawn to the slow crafts. More about KeikoKeiko Oboshi was born on December 25, 1978, in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. Even at a young age, she was interested in travelling abroad, and in 2010, she studied the fundamentals of fine art at the Bremen Art Academy in Germany. The drawing and paper cutting techniques she acquired during this time laid the foundation for her later artistic expression. She had to discontinue her studies due to family reasons. She found her way back to the arts in 2016 and rented a studio with two friends and began indigo dyeing. While promoting indigo dyeing and offering workshops, she became acquainted with the traditional Japanese craft of sashiko. Fascinated by its depth, she began to incorporate it into her own work. While deepening her understanding of the fusion of dyeing and sashiko, she recognised the need for knowledge of tailoring. From 2018 to 2020, she completed a two-year apprenticeship in textile and fashion tailoring. During this time, she gained a deep understanding of the properties of fabrics and the techniques for creating more three-dimensional works. Since 2020, she works as a freelance artist. Keiko is based in Berlin. _ Keiko hosts sashiko workshops at MUJI and UNIQLO and also regularly offers her own workshops, preserving the traditional sashiko technique while incorporating her favourite geometric patterns and paper-cut motifs, as well as modern design elements. Keiko strives to create forms of expression that honour tradition yet remain vibrant in the present. She explores all possibilities and creates a unique work that blends the warmth of handcrafting with sophisticated design.

Berlin Cathedral

Night view

The Berlin Cathedral combines the neo-Baroque and Renaissance style with a green dome towering, built during William II for the Hohenzollern dynasty and restored after World War II. The interior dome mural, the organ is shocking, and the top overlooks the Spree River and the museum island. It is a symbol of Berlin&#39;s history and architecture.
