KANTHAS OF FRIENDSHIP
Textile Exhibition
We're are ver excited to invite you to our unique textile exhibition at the Ancient Market House in Kingston!
This year-long project was based on the ancient craft and tradition of textile recycling from Bangladesh and India. The technique used was a simple running stitch; the base textiles were lightweight scarves and items that participants found in their wardrobes. We hosted introductory workshops to teach the method and allow for exploration of textiles by producing small samples first. Participants from various communities living in and around the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames interpreted this technique in a new, contemporary way by sharing their skills, knowledge, and memories.
We will be running WEEKEND WORKSHOPS on kantha borders & mirror work.
SATURDAY 20th Sep:
Kantha Borders - 11am -12 noon & 2 pm - 3 pm
SUNDAY 21st Sep:
Mirror Work - 11 am - 12 noon & 2 pm - 3 pm
Private View - Wed 17th Sep 12 noon - 2pm
Hope to see you there!
