See How Real Work Is Done

We don't run a formal internship - but we do something we think is more useful for a keen student: we occasionally invite a selected student to spend time in our working studio and watch how real designer garments are actually made.

We are not a college and we don't run a formal internship - but we do something we think is more genuinely useful for a keen student: we occasionally invite a selected student to spend time in our working studio and watch how real designer garments are actually made. No theory, no classroom - the real thing.

What this is - and isn't

This is an observation experience, not a job or an internship. There is no salary and no obligation on either side - it is simply an open door for someone genuinely curious to see the craft up close: how a garment goes from a measurement and a sketch to a finished, fitted piece. You watch, you ask questions, you learn how a real atelier works.

What you might see

  • How a real client's measurements are taken and read.
  • How a pattern is drafted or adapted, and how fabric is cut.
  • How a blouse, kurta or outfit is constructed - and where hand-work takes over from machine.
  • How embroidery and finishing bring a piece together.
  • How a studio actually runs day to day - the part no classroom shows you.

Why we're selective

A working studio can only host a student now and then without disrupting real client work - so we choose thoughtfully, and we ask interested students to fill in a short form first. We look for genuine curiosity and seriousness rather than any particular qualification. If it is a good fit and the timing works, we will invite you.

How to apply

Fill in our form telling us a little about yourself - what you are studying or interested in, and why you would like to visit. There is no cost to apply, and applying does not guarantee a visit; we respond as our schedule allows, and invite students when we can host them properly. Please be honest and specific - it genuinely helps us say yes.

A fair note

Because this is an observation visit in a working space, we will agree simple, sensible ground rules beforehand (timing, confidentiality of client work, and so on). Our aim is for you to learn as much as possible while our client work continues undisturbed.

If that sounds like what you are looking for, get in touch through our form and tell us about yourself - we read every message.

This is a description of our own studio observation offer. It is not employment, an internship or a training course, and carries no payment or guarantee. We host selected students at our discretion, when we can do so without disrupting client work.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is Kantha embroidery?

Kantha is a traditional hand-embroidery from the Bengal region built on the simple running stitch. It began with rural women layering old saris and stitching them into quilts, and grew into an art form used today on saris, dupattas and designer wear.

Where does Kantha come from?

Kantha originates in rural Bengal — today's West Bengal in India and Bangladesh. In 2008, Nakshi Kantha received the Geographical Indication (GI) tag for West Bengal, associated especially with the Birbhum district near Shantiniketan.

What stitch is used in Kantha?

The running stitch — the simplest of all embroidery stitches. Repeated with skill, it outlines motifs and fills areas, creating Kantha's soft, rippled, textured surface. Every piece is slightly different because it is entirely hand-worked.

Can Kantha be used on modern designer wear?

Yes. Kantha and Kantha-inspired detailing appears today on blouses, saris, dupattas, kurtas and jackets. Being hand-done, it gives each garment a genuinely one-of-a-kind, heritage character.
