Learn the ancient art of smocking, with artist and designer Kashif Nadim Chaudry.
Smocking involves transforming a flat piece of fabric into a textured, three-dimensional piece, through a variety of different hand stitches. This highly structured and mathematical art form can be applied to embellish clothing, create unique interior pieces or simply appreciated in its own right. Learning this skill will allow you to think differently about fabric possibilities and re purpose fabric in exciting ways.
Kashif Nadim Chaudry is a Nottingham born artist, of Punjabi origin, living and working in the East Midlands, where he continues to develop his textile orientated art practice. A family heritage in tailoring has been very influential for his work and has focused his creativity around the importance of materiality and craftsmanship.
