Tanvi invites you into her ephemeral haberdashery of hand-stitched remnants, embellished spice garlands, fabric flora and cotton reel pendants.

A curious array of colour, texture and pattern awaits you to encourage instinctive and spontaneous interaction between the imaginary and the material. Bring friends, relax and share ideas as you learn new skills in hand-stitching or make it up as you go along to create unpredictable forms of jewellery you can take away with you.
