I am Seuli Das1 (she/her). I live in Khudiram Pally. In 2017, I was offered work over here. I first worked on Kantha Stitch (traditional embroidery), then. In 2018, an idol was made using straws. We had made the idol by stitching straws! I couldn’t believe that such a beautiful idol can be made by stitching with straws. I was overjoyed. Since then, I have worked with Boudi (Sudeepa Dey), on many exhibitions and performances. I feel very happy to have worked on these… and there’s so much to learn from here! Sitting at home, I could never imagine that such beautiful works of art can be created using simple things. We have learned a lot of crafts and we have worked with all the artists who come here. We get a lot of joy in working here and have learned a lot.
