How it was made
Five stages, weeks or months of work
Every piece represents weeks or months of meticulous hand embroidery. Each acquisition contributes to sustainable livelihoods while preserving indigenous craftsmanship.
Image and blueprint
An image is selected and converted into a coded blueprint: a chart that gives every square of the design its colour.
Guided stitching
Working from the blueprint, the artisan matches each code to its colour-coded thread.
Hand stitching
Trained artisans stitch the piece square by square and row by row, keeping the tension even across thousands of crosses.
Washing and finishing
The finished fabric is washed and prepared so that the work lies smooth and square.
Professional framing
Framing preserves the textile and presents it as a finished work, ready to hang.
