Explore the expressive potential of fabric beyond stitching in this hands-on 2-hour Fold & Form Workshop. Designed for beginners and curious makers, this session focuses on shaping cloth through folding, gathering, layering, and structured techniques to create rich, dimensional surfaces.
Work through a curated set of techniques including pleating, smocking, fabric folding, and slash & reveal. Each method is introduced with clear guidance and immediate application, allowing you to build texture step by step and understand how fabric responds to tension, repetition, and structure.
Choose from a selection of pre-developed formats that highlight different surface effects—whether you prefer clean, linear compositions or more sculptural, tactile textures. You’ll create a finished piece that reflects your choices and experimentation.
Transform flat fabric into a dynamic surface—through structure, rhythm, and form. Join us in Jaipur for a focused, material-driven workshop that expands how you see and use textiles.
