Lambani Embroidery Sling Bag Workshop With Shahin Karwani

Lambani Embroidery Sling Bag workshop with Shahin Karwani

Lambanis, also known as “Banjaras”, who originally came from Marwar are semi-nomadic people who reside mostly in Southern and Middle India. The Lambani women practice a unique mirror and embroidery craft, which they mostly use for making their own traditional dresses or for giving to their daughters for their weddings. The Lambani embroidery is a fusion of pattern darning, mirror work, cross-stitch, and overlaid and quilting stitches with borders of “Kangura” patchwork appliqué, done on loosely woven dark blue or red handloom base fabric. Rooftop brings you a Lambani Embroidery Workshop with Shahin Karwani to help you explore this unique art form!

Towards the End of the Workshop

Shahin made Lambani Embroidery on different colors of cloth which were pink and black. She made different colorful designs and patterns as they looked attractive and had various designs and patterns. All the participants appreciated Shahin‘s embroidery designs and showed their co-created Lambani embroidery to her. The host thanked Shahin for teaching this art.
