Specifically, with Kasuti, we work towards a finish where both sides of the fabric are identical—no knots allowed. It is a standard of precision that transforms a simple piece of cloth into a lasting heirloom, and it is a technique you will master during our sessions. My journey with the needle started in 1963, guided by the patient hands of my mother. Those early lessons, preserved in her old tailoring journals, are the foundation of everything I teach today. When you walk into my Koramangala studio, you are not just attending a class; you are stepping into a legacy. ### Why Learn Heritage Embroidery? Hand embroidery is a slow, meditative practice. In a world of fast fashion and instant notifications, picking up a needle helps you reset. It is a skill that demands presence, patience, and a bit of heart. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to refine specific techniques, there is a space here for you. ### My Approach to Teaching * **Certified Kasuti Expertise:** I am a GI-certified user for Kasuti of Karnataka. When you learn this with me, you are learning the authentic, traditional style directly from a source that honors its heritage. * **Over 25 Styles:** Beyond Kasuti, I teach a wide variety of global and Indian embroidery forms, including Mirror work (Shisha), Kantha, and Crazy Patchwork. * **Practical Learning:** We provide all materials and step-by-step guidance. You do not need to bring experience—just curiosity. ### Join the Embroidery Club For those who have already started their stitching journey, I host drop-in sessions. It is a space to sit, stitch, and share stories with fellow enthusiasts. My studio is equipped with professional lighting and a reference library containing vintage design books, making it the perfect environment to work on your personal projects in good company. ## About Sameeksha I am Sujaya Mahesh, and I have spent the last 25 years ensuring these traditional stitches don't fade away. Whether you are a curious beginner or looking to refine your technique, I am here to guide your hands and share the history behind every pattern.
