Kantha____05.14.26 (11 AM to 1 PM)

A handstitch class that teaches slow, sensible repair and beautiful surface work. We’ll show you kantha’s gentle running stitch, how layered cloth becomes a quilt or a durable patch, and how simple motifs—paisley, vines, little stars—turn into texture.

This two-hour session covers tools, fabric prep, and finishing tricks so you leave with a finished kantha patch or pouch and the confidence to keep going at home. 

All materials are included: pre-layered practice cloth, needles, threads, and a one-page resource guide. We honor kantha’s origins in Bangladesh and eastern India and teach with respect for that tradition—practice that’s meant to repair, celebrate material reuse, and make things last. Small class size for hands-on help.

2-hour classes are 136.00.

Preferred Prerequisite Skills

This two-hour class focuses on the hand-sewing elements that make kantha unique. To make the most of our time together, we won’t be covering the absolute basics of hand sewing.

This is not an advanced class. It just shouldn’t be the first time you’ve picked up a needle.

If threading, tying knots, or simple stitches still feel uncertain, we recommend starting with our Practical Hand Stitching Basics class first—then returning to kantha with full confidence.

In Kantha, we’ll guide you through a project that’s both achievable and rewarding. You’ll leave with a stitched sample, a deeper understanding of kantha, and the reassurance that even experienced hands are always learning.
