In October our workshop on "The Peaceful Art of Kantha" was led by members Anne and Margaret.
We learned about the history of Kantha and then how to use the mostly running stitch techniques to create our own pieces, either using traditional motifs or by designing our own.
The first 3 photos show some traditional Kantha work, the next 3 are some contemporary designs using the Kantha techniqe, then some of the members enjoying the relaxed pace of slow stitching.
The rest of the photos show our achievements by the end of the day.
