Tanvi Kant is a British-Indian textile artist based in London who repurposes reclaimed fabrics, including saris and dressmaking off-cuts. Her practice is rooted in traditional hand-production techniques such as binding, knotting, and hand-stitching to create intricate jewelry and soft sculptures. With a background in Sustainable Design from the University of Derby and further studies at the Royal College of Art, Kant investigates the symbolic function of cloth. Her work explores cultural identity and the value of 'making with little,' drawing connections between personal memory and heritage through a visual play of texture and color stories.
