ABOUT

Welcome! I'm Tamanna Rahman, a mental health clinician and textile artist living in Newfoundland, Canada.

Slow Work Sewing began in the midst of the pandemic, when I suddenly found myself with something I hadn't had in decades: an abundance of time to explore and engage in creative work. Garment sewing came first, then I ventured into embroidery, and these remain my primary creative focus. But I also love knitting, natural dyeing, weaving, punch needle - basically, if it involves some kind of fiber, I'm here for it.

Slow Work Sewing was initially a way to document my process on Instagram, a visual diary to look back on and a place to collect inspiration. Now it has become a way that I've been able to connect with people people around the world examining textile traditions from many perspectives. I'm so glad you've found your way here!
