Originating in Bangladesh, kantha embroidery is a beautiful and meditative craft which upcycles old cloth and materials into elaborate embroidered pieces. Join us for this one-day exhibition featuring embroidered panels in various kantha styles, created during weekly workshops with participants from the local St Margaret's House community.
Each panel holds meaningful stories for the participants who created them, working on different elements of the panel each week to create these beautifully worked pieces. This workshop series was created and facilitated by Shama, a local textile artist.
Come along to the Chapel and enjoy this wonderful group exhibition by our local community!
