Hi, my name is Ashwini! My work represents the artistic harmony of timeless Indian traditional works in modern society, incorporating in my unique blend of experiences. Preserving the essence while reimagining these styles within a contemporary perspective, I invite you to experience and personally connect to the artistic beauty and intricacy of our history!

In this class, we’ll begin by exploring the history of Pipli, a traditional Indian art form known for its vibrant and intricate work dating back to nearly a thousand years ago! We’ll look at some inspiring examples, then dive into creating our own pieces using fabrics and decorative elements. By layering and gluing these materials onto a fabric base, you’ll get hands-on experience with appliqué, the signature technique behind Pipli art and leave with a beautiful piece, preserving an ancient tradition.
