Tanvi Kant works with distinctive hand crafted techniques that are prevalent in her work with reclaimed textiles from which she has developed award-winning jewellery collections and practice-based research projects. Her approach to sourcing fabrics and hand-production techniques references textile crafts that have been informed by her Indian heritage. Her design practice upholds the re-use, repair and value of handwork with materials sourced from her family and friends such as saris and dressmaking off-cuts. She also leads textile jewellery making workshops and working with the public to make temporary mixed media installations, sharing her techniques to engage with people beyond a transaction of a product
Tanvi Kant received a bursary from 'the shape of things' to produce 'Cut, Stitch, Adorn' at Touchestones, Rochdale July-October 2010
