A beautifully illustrated exploration of kantha, the Bengali tradition of layered, running-stitch textiles made from repurposed cloth.

Award-winning, London-based textile artist Ekta Kaul traces kantha's history and its place in women's everyday making, and shows how its slow, mindful approach can shape your own stitching.

What's inside:

• The history of the kantha tradition and its roots in reuse and storytelling
• A dictionary of fundamental kantha stitches with supporting photos and instructions
• Guidance on construction and on choosing fabrics, threads and motifs
• Interviews with contemporary makers and artists reimagining kantha
• Ideas for creating your own kantha

A thoughtful read for embroiderers, quilters, and anyone interested in sustainable, slow craft. Hardcover, 192 pages.
