Kawandi – A utilitarian quilt made with found and collected scraps by the African Diaspora of India.   

Document the memories and special events of life with stitches. From start to finish, this is a complete hand-stitching project. The focus of this workshop will be on being spontaneous while selecting scraps and learning to personalize simple patchwork by using colors and fabric from your life. Sujata will share how to find the rhythm of your own between your mind and body and practice mindful stitching.   

In this five-day-long retreat, you will learn the elements of design in Kawandi and the background of people who originally inspired this art form. Sujata will also share her personal experiences growing up in India and life after moving to the United States as a colorist and a designer.
