Recent reviews of Zero Waste Appliqué Workshop
- 4/5 from Beatrix van Lunenburg, attended Jan 2025: A lovely way to spend an afternoon. Our instructor, Manjul was lovely and very informative. She patiently helped us work through the basics and offered good suggestions for future projects.
- 5/5 from Amanda Marshall, attended Mar 2024: 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.️

- 5/5 from Suzy Bragulla, attended Nov 2023: Manjari is a warm and patient teacher with such a wealth of knowledge and experience and it was a delight to be in her workshop today. The materials were beautiful and plentiful and Manjari generously offered to let us take home as much thread as we would like to complete our projects and then some! Such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon connecting with our community and learning Kantha Embroidery which I’ll use for all sorts of gifts. Thank you Manjari xxx

- 5/5 from Maria-Louise Culcasi, attended Sep 2023: Manjari lead an informative lesson that taught the historical story of the art and that helped to create a connection with the craft. Manjari was encouraging and positive. The materials provided were of excellent quality and will be useful at home. Thank you for a beautiful morning of creativity and engaging support.
- 5/5 from Sonia Wainberg, attended Sep 2023: Such a great class. Manjari was a wonderful teacher- she gave us lots of historical information as well as easy instructions for the craft. I’m a total beginner and feel prepared to go home and work on a project now. Thanks for a wonderful morning!
