About A Meditative Space: Our Workshops & Embroidery Club
When you join us, you will learn more than just how to pull thread through fabric. We focus on techniques like Kasuti, which demands total neatness on both sides of the cloth—no knots allowed. It is a slow, methodical process that encourages you to set aside your phone, breathe, and enjoy the rhythm of the needle.
At Sameeksha, we believe that embroidery is a living tradition, not just a decorative skill. Our Koramangala studio is designed to be a quiet sanctuary where you can pause your daily routine and reconnect with your hands.
We offer a range of sessions tailored to different needs:
- Heritage Masterclasses: For those who want to dive deep into Karnataka's rich textile history, our Kasuti courses cover core stitches like Gavanti, Murgi, Negi, and Menthi. You will learn the geometry of these patterns and the precision required for authentic work.
- Creative Workshops: If you are looking to explore, we teach over 25 styles including mirror work (shisha), crazy patchwork, and freestyle hoop art. These sessions are perfect for beginners who want to leave with a finished piece, like a customized bookmark or phone cover.
- Embroidery Club: This is our open, drop-in social space. It is less about instruction and more about community. Bring your ongoing project, use our studio library for reference, and stitch alongside others who share your passion.
We provide everything you need—from professional hoops and embroidery skeins to the fabric itself. Most importantly, we keep the environment unhurried. Whether you are a student, a working professional, or a grandparent, you are welcome to pick up a needle and participate in this legacy.
