Embroidery Holiday to India 2nd - 16th October 2025

 

First stop on the fabulous Embroidery Holiday to India will be Delhi and a visit to the Craft Museum on 3rd October

The museum houses crafts from all over India with examples of textiles and fabrics to the fore

We will also see sculpture, wood carvings, metalwork and much more






I have been forewarned that the first day in Delhi is a senses overload with a riot of colour, noise, smells and visual delights everywhere. We will have a chance to tour the twin cities of Old and New Delhi - a real mix of ancient and contemporary













On the second day in Delhi the group will take part in a Phulkari workshop.

Phulkari is a traditional hand embroidery technique from the states of Punjab, Haryana and Himachel Pradesh.

Inspired by nature with lots of flower, leaf and animal images.

Stitched on silk or cotton with a variety of stitches.
