Amma ne kalisiddu (Mom taught me), and I want to pass that on before it fades away. Every stitch is a small memory, a bit of our culture, and honestly, a kind of quiet magic. That’s why I keep my workshops open - so more of us can carry this forward. ### The Experience If you’re looking for something that’s more than just craft, this is it. Hand embroidery helps me slow down, breathe, and forget phone notifications for a while. Many who come say the same - it’s meditative, lowers stress, and gives you that “I made this!” happiness.

Embroidery isn’t just decoration for us—it’s memory, emotion, and a bit of amma’s (mom’s) wisdom stitched in. Started this place so those stories don’t get lost. Every time a student makes something new—like earrings for her little one—it’s pure magic. Needle, thread, and a lot of heart. Teaching hand embroidery keeps us connected, gives us joy. It’s addictive, honestly. Once you start, you’ll see. ### My work - **Hand Embroidery Courses & Workshops**: We teach 25+ styles, including Kasuti embroidery classes and Kantha stitch workshops. Beginners and enthusiasts welcome. - **Custom Embroidered Apparel & Sarees**: We design and sell unique hand-embroidered sarees, blouses, stoles. Custom orders to match your ideas, even rejuvenate old clothing embroidery. - **Personalized Designs, Not Trends**: You tell us your colors, motifs, we stitch your story. Each piece is made for you, not the market. - **Attention to Technique and Neatness**: Neatness matters. Kasuti work—no knots, both sides look just as good. We care about the craft. - **Embroidery for Well-being**: Embroidery is meditative. Our sessions help you find patience and satisfaction, one stitch at a time. ## More services from Sameeksha - [Custom & Commissioned Hand Embroidery](https://mytribe.in/sameeksha/custom-commissioned-hand-embroidery) · ₹1-30K per custom piece (estimate) - [Hand-Embroidered Apparel & Accessories](https://mytribe.in/sameeksha/hand-embroidered-apparel-accessories) · ₹2-32K per piece (estimate) ## Experts similar to Sameeksha on mytribe - [Block Printing Workshops & Experiences by Tharangini Studio](https://mytribe.in/tharangini-studio/block-printing-workshops-experiences) · ₹2,500-9,000 per person (estimate) · Tharangini Studio Pvt Ltd - [Eco-Art & Craft Workshops by En Madtidiya](https://mytribe.in/en_madtidiya/eco-art-craft-workshops) · ₹499-1,800 per participant per workshop (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Art Workshops by Surekha Sundaram](https://mytribe.in/maidenindia_art/art-workshops) · ₹900-3,500 per person per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Adult Craft Workshops by Sapna Sparkz](https://mytribe.in/sapnasparkz/adult-craft-workshops) · ₹700-1,600 per participant per workshop session (estimate) · Sapna Book House - [Art Workshops by Pavna](https://mytribe.in/artsymanifestor/art-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per person (estimate) · Sri Chamarajendra Park - [Macrame Craft Workshops by Dee](https://mytribe.in/chordsandknots/macrame-craft-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per participant per session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Eco-Resin Art Workshops by Hues of Memories](https://mytribe.in/huesofmemories/eco-resin-art-workshops) · ₹900-1,500 per person (offline workshop) (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Handwriting & Calligraphy Workshops by Sheetal](https://mytribe.in/sheetalhandwriting/handwriting-calligraphy-workshops) · ₹350-2,200 per session (estimate) · Sheetal's Handwriting Improvement Classes - [Creative Gardening Workshops by Urban Jungle](https://mytribe.in/urbanjungle_gardencenter/creative-gardening-workshops) · ₹800-2,000 per participant (estimate) · Urban Jungle - The Garden Center - [Creative Painting Workshops by Splash Movement Studio](https://mytribe.in/splashmovementstudio/creative-painting-workshops) · ₹1,000-1,800 per participant per session (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Sameeksha, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Hand%20Embroidery%20Workshops%20by%20Sameeksha.)
