SIWAN EMBROIDERY CLASS

DURATION: 2-3 hours

You are welcomed by local women in a warm home. You will meet your instructor, one of the artisan-women who have years of experience and have dedicated themselves to preserve this tradition. You are provided with the necessary materials such as needles, thread, fabric, and embroidery designs. Your instructor will demonstrate different embroidery techniques and stitches and guide you in creating your own embroidery designs.

The workshop covers a variety of embroidery techniques. The women will explain about the history of embroidery, its daily use and cultural significance, sharing a nice cup of tea and home-made sweets. You can make the workshop a one-time event or if you want to expand your expertise, you can choose to participate in a series of sessions. Get inspired and design your own pillow covers, towels or scarf. After every session you take your creations with you.

*Due to cultural traditions, this Local Experience is for women only.
