Kawandi (Quilting) Workshop

15th August 2pm – 5pm

Or 13th November 2pm – 5pm

Kawandi translated means Quilting! The Siddis of Karnataka are known in recent years for their unique style of quilting called kawandi. Siddis go through a complicated process of quilting that makes their style distinct from surrounding groups. The process involves taking recycled fabric scraps and arranging them in stylistic geometric patterns, sometimes embedded with religious symbols. Quilts are usually made for family members by older women who can no longer work in the fields. The quilts are put to use as mattresses, crib covers, or covers for cold monsoon nights.

Fabrics & threads provided to make a small table decoration or mat.

£25
