During these hard times the weaving communities we work with have been affected drastically. One of them is the Kodiyala weaving community in Mandya district of Karnataka. Due to shortage of facilities in hospitals in Mandya, Mysore and Bangalore, Kodiyala is in dire need of basic medical facilities, hygiene and ration kits. 11 other smaller surrounding villages are in turn dependent on Kodiyala for these services.
The Registry of Sarees is conducting an online embroidery workshop to raise funds to benefit the affected weaving community in Kodiyala. Titled ‘Stories Told By Hand’ the workshop conducted by our Fashion Designer Priyanka Jayanath will cover the basic techniques and concepts of embroidery. In light of the times we live in, we wish to use techniques of the hand to guide us with our thoughts and feelings. We hope that by learning hand embroidery and hand stitching, you will find a personal language in which you can creatively write notes to yourself.
