Donate
Do you have linen, cotton or silk yarn that you are not using? Please consider donating your leftovers to this project. We will recycle them into beautiful works of art. We can only accept yarn that is in good condition from a non-smoking home.
SAORI's Four Principles
- Be bold and adventurous.
- Consider the differences between a machine and a human being.
- Look out through eyes that shine.
- Inspire and learn from one another in the group.
About SAORI Weaving
All flowers are beautiful, even though each individual flower is different in form and color.
Because of this difference, “all are good”.
Because everything has the same life, life cannot be measured by a yardstick.
It is this individuality that makes everything meaningful and the uniqueness of each thread that creates the tapestry of life.
—Misao Jo
Saori is a unique style of weaving founded by Misao Jo in Japan. The SA of SAORI is the first syllable of the word SAI. Sai means everything has its own individual dignity. And the ORI of SAORI means weaving. SAORI is a free-style hand weaving with no rules and restrictions. There are no mistakes. Unexpected surprises become design elements. SAORI is the opposite of machine-made cloth. Every weaver has his or her own unique personality and every cloth has its own unique personality. On the SAORI website it says, “In SAORI, we do not weave only a cloth. We weave our true self.”
