Your teacher
Growing up as a queer first-gen South Asian American in the Chicagoland area, art was how I expressed myself and how I connected to my culture. During the pandemic, I started to investigate what was most important to me and really started to explore South Asian craft and all of its influences in the Western art/fashion world. This eventually led to me quitting my tech job, and from there I traveled to India and partnered with craft organizations to learn more about ancestral art forms. During this trip, I gained a true appreciation for the skill and labor required for traditional crafts. This trip inspired me to dive into the world of natural dye, and share my knowledge of South Asian craft and history.
Whether you're attending my in person workshops, buying one of my craft kits, or leading your own craft party... my guided experiences will leave you learning about another culture, exploring your personal connection to craft, and uncovering how interconnected the craft world really is.
