About the event
Join me for a transformative quilting retreat as we delve into the rich history and cultural significance of Kawandi. Originating from the African diaspora of India, Kawandi are steeped in tradition and serve as a canvas for personal expression. Under my expert guidance, you will explore the meditative art of stitching, learning traditional techniques to craft their own unique Kawandi. Drawing from my daily practice of stitching to capture thoughts and memories in real-time, I will lead you in weaving together your personal narrative using basic sewing essentials.
In addition to creating your own Kawandi, you will have the opportunity to design a fabric collage inspired by Kawandi techniques, further expanding your creative horizons. Whether you are a seasoned quilter or a beginner, this retreat promises a journey of self-expression and artistic exploration.
