About this activity
Discover the distinctive stitches, motifs and visual language of traditional embroidery traditions from across India. Explore the history and characteristics of two regional embroidery traditions of your choice. Learn how to use foundational embroidery stitches to recreate traditional-inspired designs. Understand how thread colour, stitch direction and embellishment can transform a design. Develop your own interpretation while staying connected to the character of the chosen tradition. Create a set of six embroidered cocktail napkins to take home.
What you will do
Explore the rich diversity of India’s traditional textile crafts through a hands-on embroidery experience. Choose two embroidery traditions from across India—from Kashida of Kashmir and Kasuti of Karnataka to Phulkari of Punjab, Chikankari of Uttar Pradesh, Kantha of Bengal, Rabari embroidery of Gujarat and more. Each tradition introduces you to a distinctive visual language, stitch vocabulary and way of making, with designs created especially for the workshop. Make the experience your own by choosing your threads and colours, then use your chosen traditions to create a set of six cocktail napkins. Mix traditional palettes with your own creative choices, experiment with different stitches and embellishments, and leave with a unique set of handcrafted napkins—and a deeper appreciation of the diverse embroidery traditions that have shaped India’s textile heritage.
