On Wednesday, February 18 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm cancer survivors, patients and their caregivers are invited to join artist Holly Gottenborg for a gentle Japanese textile art workshop at the Cowell Cancer Center in Nags Head.

This gentle, hands-on workshop offers a space to slow down, create, and connect through art. Participants will be introduced to Kinusaiga, a Japanese textile art form where colorful fabric scraps are pressed into carved surfaces to create beautiful, no-sew, textured images. Using simple tools and guided instruction, you’ll design and assemble a small fabric artwork that becomes a personal symbol of resilience, reflection, or hope.

No sewing or prior art experience is needed; just a willingness to explore and enjoy the calming, tactile nature of this process.

Cost: Thanks to a Community Benefit Grant from Outer Banks Health, this workshop is free for cancer survivors, patients and their caregivers, and all supplies are included.
