Join artist and poet Suman Gujral for a unique workshop that combines storytelling and textile art. In this interactive session, you’ll explore embroidery as a powerful medium for storytelling, inspired by Suman’s own family history and artistic journey.

Participants will learn about Suman’s creative practice and the ways her heritage has influenced her work. Guided by Suman, you will create your own piece of textile art, reflecting on your personal history and heritage. No previous experience is necessary, and all materials are provided.

 

About the Artist:
