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 Gujarati-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, scarves 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.
She has been exhibiting and selling within galleries, retail outlets and fairs in the UK and internationally since graduating from her BA in 3D Design (Sustainable Practice) at the University of Derby in 2005, and is currently undertaking her MA at Royal College of Art in Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork & Jewellery.
