Heritage Hand Embroidery Classes and Workshops
Welcome to my studio. I believe embroidery is more than just a craft; it is a meditative practice that preserves stories passed down through generations. Whether you are picking up a needle for the first time or returning to a beloved hobby, there is a place for you here.
Embroidery is a simple magic you create with just a needle and thread. For me, it is a meditative practice and a precious skill passed down from my mother. I teach because I feel it is my purpose to pass this legacy on to the next generation before it fades away.

I am honored to be a part of London Textile Month, a celebration of cloth, craft, and culture. It is a privilege to share the art of Indian hand embroidery on a global stage, connecting with textile enthusiasts from all over the world.

About Featured
When you step into my Koramangala studio, you will notice something different about the way we work. I teach you to stitch without knots, ensuring your patterns look identical on both the front and the back of your fabric. This focus on technique is not just about aesthetics; it is about mindfulness and learning to treat your work with the same care as my mother taught me decades ago.
My journey began in 1963 with my mother’s journal, and today, that same spirit lives on at Sameeksha. I specialize in heritage techniques, particularly Kasuti, the intricate, knotless needlework from Karnataka. In my workshops, we do not just focus on the final product; we prioritize the process.
Hand embroidery is a slow, grounding experience. In a world of digital noise, picking up a needle and thread is a quiet rebellion. My students often share how these hours of stitching help them manage stress and find a sense of achievement in creating something tangible with their own hands.
My studio doors in Koramangala are open to everyone. I have taught children, busy professionals, and seniors looking for a new creative outlet. You do not need artistic experience. Whether you join our drop-in embroidery club to work on personal projects or sign up for a two-day heritage masterclass, you will receive step-by-step guidance. I provide all materials—the hoops, the needles, and the patterns—so you only need to bring your curiosity. We explore over 25 styles, from Kantha and mirror work to freestyle hoop art. Come, let us keep these stories alive, one stitch at a time.
