ONLINE KANTHA WORKSHOP with Sakina Khatun
This workshop is now over and you can buy recordings
This was a 1 class of 2 hours each and was conducted over Zoom - only for adults.
We would be learning to the craft of Kantha by National Award Winner artisan Sakina Khatun from West Bengal and will be embroidering our own stole (Sent in the workshop art kit). The motif that will be taught is shown in the second image.
About Kantha: Kantha is a form of embroidery often practised by women in the eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent, specifically in Bangladesh and in the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura and Odisha. The traditional form of Kantha embroidery was done with soft dhotis and saris, with a simple running stitch along the edges. Depending on the use of the finished product they were known as Lepkantha or Sujni Kantha.
Materials that will be sent as part of this workshop:
- 1 white cotton stole
- Extra cotton cloth to practise the motifs
- Sets of threads in 4/5 colors
- Embroidery Frame (Round)
- Needle
We hope you can join us to support the arts and artists.
