Hello, everyone! I have a small atelier in Brazil where I produce and coordinate classes on embroidery, crochet and knitting among other abilities and I’ve always been very interested in textiles. This course will certainly help me expand my knowledge on the subject of textiles. A big thank you to Map Academy for offering us this opportunity .

[Ishita]

Hello everyone! I’m Ishita Singhal living in Gurugram, India, born and brought up all around the country. I’m a double college dropout (of NIFT and NID) as I struggled to thrive in an environment that did not fit my needs. However, I strongly believe in the fact that learning should never stop under any circusmstances whether you are dropout or a graduate. I am here to grow my knowledge in textiles and share the same. Happy learning!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Kathy, and I am a retired schoolteacher. I was taught to sew as a young teenager and still have an interest in clothing and its construction. The course looks fascinating. I appreciate the chance to participate.

[Elizabeth]

Greetings, my name is Beth. I am a retired art teacher and a current teaching artist. I chose to take this course as a way to check my prior learning/knowledge of Indian textiles and to guide future learning. I will be traveling to India in March and April with plans to study and create fiber/textile artwork. I hope to be able to connect and work with women’s cooperatives in Meghalaya, Jaipur and Kerala.

Hi, Beth! I’m interested in creating textile art and would like to connect with you. Is there a platform where I can personally message you?
