What’s it all about?
Gota is a metallic ribbon which is used widely across North India during auspicious events. This ribbon was made using real gold and silver yarns in the past. Gota Patti embroidery is a simple technique of creating patterns by cutting this ribbon into different shapes and sewing it together with beads and sequins.
In this workshop you can create a metallic pattern which could be sewn onto any garment or used as a wall hanging.
