Tanvi is an interdisciplinary artist based in East Sussex. Her works span across textile jewellery, participatory installations, collage and sculpture, responding to materials through tactility, colour and construction.

She has over 15 years’ experience in delivering workshops with families and community groups 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.
