Lorena Uriarte - Kawandi Quilt
This 1 day workshop explores the traditional technique of Kawandi quilting.
Kawandi are traditional utility quilts made by the Siddi diaspora in India, who originated from East Africa. Each quilt has a beautiful texture. Traditionally, they are made from sari scraps, patched and stitched together from the outside of a foundation piece.
The Kawandi process of piecing and hand stitching is mindful and relaxing. Choosing each new fabric addition, whether a solid or print, then stitching it in place, is meditative and creative.
This is a technique class where students will learn the art of Kawandi hand-stitching and the quilt-as-you-go method. This means that you will piece and quilt your sampler at the same time.
The expected outcome of the class is that students will complete a Kawandi sampler piece, of roughly 45cm square.
You can either preorder a kit for $35 payable to Lorena on the day, or delve into your stash and bring along the items in the requirements list supplied by Lorena.
