Kantha Embroidery Experience

About this experience

" This experience opens a quiet doorway into the world of Kantha embroidery where simple stitches grow into layered stories. In the home studio of Smt. Bina Dey the rhythm feels steady and familiar. Cloth is placed on the table. Threads are chosen for their softness and colour. Designs begin as light outlines before they turn into textured forms built through running stitches. The craft carries memories from Bengal’s past where old garments were repurposed and transformed into something meaningful. A small embroidered motif is created during the session, guided by techniques that have passed through many hands over generations. The process is calming and precise. By the end, the cloth holds a pattern that reflects both tradition and quiet attention. What It Covers: An introduction to Kantha embroidery where simple stitches evolve into decorative motifs on cloth Guided practice in outlining and stitching while learning how patterns build slowly into a complete design Insight into the cultural roots of Kantha work in Bengal and the stories preserved through this textile tradition A closer look at the artist’s method to understand how stitch direction, spacing and thread choice shape the final piece A take home embroidered motif created using traditional Kantha techniques"
