Manjari Singh

I absolutely loved this workshop! Manjari is a wonderfully generous-hearted woman, who delighted in the opportunity to share her experience of Indian cultures from different regions. I loved what she taught us about embroidery. It is exactly what I have been looking for. I am a high school art teacher, so have been craving an artistic outlet that is mindful, where I don’t have to think, and can work very intuitively, expressively and freely, at the end of a day/week where I have small pockets of time. I took my sister in law, and we had a fabulously relaxed time. My mother passed recently, and she was a very gifted artist who enjoyed embroidery as well. This was a way of celebrating her and her birthday, by engaging in a craft she loved. Manjari comes from a background of rich cultural experience, tied in with her formal fashion and textiles training. She was so generous with her knowledge and came prepared with such a wide array of coloured threads, designs, and beautiful fabrics that participants could use to work embroidery onto. That was my chosen approach. I loved it! Thank you Manjari! Such a beautiful enriching time! I’d happily do the same workshop again! A very good price. Well worth it. My piece isn’t finished yet. I’m taking manjari’s advice not to rush it.️

Great workshop - excellent teacher - felt like being in a village and working communally - thanks <3

Manjari was amazing and very generous with her time and with all the materials she provided for Kantha embroidery. I really enjoyed the class and it was nice to get instructions from an experienced stitcher. I highly recommend this class. Comfortable venue, yummy treats. What more can you want?!

Once again, Manjari taught us fabulous new stitches to create lovely shadow work. I loved hearing the background cultural information that Manjari gave us as context. I have learnt new sewing skills today thanks to Manjari’s expertise and patience. Thanks also for the delicious morning tea!
