## About Beyond Kasuti: A World of Stitches

Before we pick up a needle, we look at the fabric weight and the stitch structure. For mirror work, I will teach you the specific anchoring technique that ensures the mirror stays secure without bulky knots underneath. It is about making the back of your work look as clean as the front.

Whether you are drawn to the geometric precision of Japanese Kogin or the fluid, floral motifs of Brazilian embroidery, my studio is where these global traditions come together. I have spent years mastering over 25 different styles, and my goal is to teach you the logic behind the stitch, not just the pattern.

In my workshops, we strip away the intimidation. You do not need to be an artist to start. You need patience and a willingness to slow down. When we teach Kantha or Sashiko, we discuss how these styles were born out of necessity—using simple running stitches to reinforce fabric—and how that history makes the craft so durable and beautiful today.

My space in Koramangala is equipped with everything you need. I provide the hoops, the high-quality threads, and the fabric, so you can walk in and focus entirely on the process.

We keep classes small to ensure everyone gets individual attention. You might come in wanting to learn a specific technique like mirror work, but you will leave with an understanding of how to plan your own projects, choose your color palettes, and finish your pieces with a professional, clean back.

Embroidery is deeply meditative. In a world of digital noise, this is your quiet corner. Whether you are looking for a weekend hobby or a deeper study into textile arts, you will find a supportive community here. We often host social sessions for those who just want to stitch in good company, sharing tips and stories as we work. If you have an old garment you want to rejuvenate or a new idea you want to bring to life, let us sit down and stitch it together.

## About Sameeksha
