Tanvi Kant is an interdisciplinary artist based in Hastings. Repurposing reclaimed textiles, Tanvi has been practising elemental hand techniques for over 17 years creating textile jewellery, participatory installations, collage, and sculpture. Her work has been exhibited around the UK and internationally.

Her intricate works are made by transforming unwanted saris and dressmaking off-cuts through wrapping, coiling, knotting and stitching. Her works explore emotional landscapes through colour-inspired, tactile and organic forms exploring line and negative space.

She studied 3D Design (sustainable practice) at the University of Derby establishing her award-winning jewellery in 2005 and later extended the participatory side of her practice at the Royal College of Art in 2013.

Tanvi has over 15 years’ experience in delivering workshops within a variety of settings including galleries, museums, higher education, women's charities, public spaces, and residential care homes. Her aim is to demonstrate how readily available materials can be transformed with unashamedly simple techniques. She regularly works with the public and community groups, aiming to help people uncover their own visual and tactile stories through materials and to support intergenerational learning experiences.
