Fabric Manipulation and Ornamentation – Anuradha and Nikhitha

Fabric manipulation and ornamentation techniques make the garments into a one-of-a-kind piece of art, which includes various techniques that reshapes the surface of the material by creating 3-dimensional patterns on the garments. Incorporating the basics of fabric manipulation, Anuradha and Nikhitha from the Diploma Batch created 3-dimensional patterns and embroideries.

Embroidery is the handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as pearls, beads, quills, and sequins. The process used to tailor, patch, mend and reinforce cloth fostered the development of sewing techniques, and the decorative possibilities of sewing led to the art of embroidery.

The large variety of techniques, applications and materials enables the students to create a unique textile surface with rich and exotic textures, gorgeous colour and 3D, manipulated forms. There is an array of new and innovative techniques that can be made with exploration and experimentation of reshaping the materials.
