The character of the colour Indigo that can range from being a depressive dark energy to the most soothing beautiful energy relates to the artist’s personal history and challenges with fighting melancholy and getting drawn towards an ocean of calm at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSharma's work further explores and responds to constant personal evolution, changing philosophies, interactions with other people, complexity of human psychology that can be simplified and further investigation of its effect on socio-political subject matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThe imagery of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSharma's work are threads embroidered in simple stitches forming an overall complex visual, which is added by cotton threads, Zaris and cords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorkshop Description\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn this workshop, you will explore embroidery as a meditative and intuitive practice. Far beyond mastering stitches, this session invites you to slow down and engage with making as a language of self‑reflection and inner listening. Rooted in quiet observation and mindful presence, the workshop encourages you to approach thread and cloth with curiosity, openness and intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"911\" data-start=\"485\"\u003eThrough a series of guided exercises, Sharma will support you to develop a personal visual vocabulary with thread, explore colour intuitively, and experiment with mark‑making as an extension of thought and emotion. Rather than focusing on technical outcomes, the emphasis is on the act of making itself — noticing rhythm and repetition, attending to subtle shifts in focus, and allowing time and touch to shape your responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1146\" data-start=\"913\"\u003eWhether you are new to embroidery or have worked with thread before, this workshop offers a space to create from a place of presence and grounding, inviting embroidery to become a practice of clarity, expression and inner connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded in Your Material Pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eEmbroidery hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eSilver\/golden zari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eEmbroidery threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eCotton fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"auto\"\u003eAdditional silk fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Materials to Bring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbroidery scissors\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric scissors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotebook\/paper \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColoured pencils\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo experience is necessary, all levels are welcome.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Material packs are shipped on an insured, trackable delivery service.
