Tamanna shares her journey, from her early love for textiles inspired by her grandmother to how COVID sparked her passion for sewing and embroidery and drove home that life doesn't have to look like it always has.She discusses her work, Slow Work Sewing, and where she teaches embroidery workshops that guide students in translating daily experiences and emotions into abstract mark-making and stitch . The conversation touches on the therapeutic benefits of repetitive, bilateral motions in craft, the importance of aligning lifestyle with seasonal and personal cycles, and the concept of living a life that honors one's creative soul. Tamanna also share her exciting future workshop ideas and tips on self-care, creativity, and the freedom to live a fulfilling life on one’s own terms.Tamanna studied literature and social movements at Williams College, and completed her graduate training at Yale University.
