Jeanette Farrier
Jeanette Farrier brings the age-old Indian art of kantha (quilting) to Western households in the form bedspreads, pillow covers and clothing made from gently used, vibrantly patterned saris. Each piece is assembled and sewn by hand, providing a viable livelihood for women in the country’s Kolkata region. Take special note of the throws, comprising five layers of recycled sari fabric hand-stitched with a trio of contrasting-colored threads. Even utilitarian objects like the bathmats made of strips of white cloth and the hand-loomed cotton towels have a unique beauty in these artisans’ hands.
