In Video 1 Linda discusses the origins of Kantha and suggests suitable materials for a modern interpretation. She shows the source of inspiration she will work with and explains how she will select elements from it to create a completely new design.
In workshop 2 Linda creates a design composition influenced by her chosen source of inspiration. She explains how she selects a colour palette to work with and talks about design fundamentals like colour and contrast, size and scale.
In workshop 3 Linda demonstrates the stitch techniques involved in her interpretation of the Kantha technique and answers questions about choice of needle and thread. She shows how the quilting produces not only a tactile fabric but also a beautiful surface texture.
