Hi

This is Mridula Nagarajan , I am the founder,President of Mridula's School of Embroidery and Fashion design in Chennai.

<table id="content" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="bodytext" valign="top">I bring more than forty years of rich experience teaching,nurturing and researching across the gamut of the Indian and International embroidery.


Traveling across India, My efforts include integrating some of the niche regional embroideries such as Kantha,Kasuthi,Kutch,Phulkari,Chickankari,Kashmiri,Thoda and Mirror and their unique techniques and incorporating them effectively through the School's education Programs.

For the benefit of women across the globe,I started the Distance Education in Embroidery , more than a decade ago,through the introduction of well designed correspondence courses through which a large number of women have been able to learn and appreciate the various embroideries,techniques and applications for their home and commercial use.

I help create prototypes for Anchor Design Studio,a Needle Craft design division of Madura Coats Ltd, which are published in the Needle & Thread Magazine and I also compiled the syllabus for One year Diploma and Advanced diploma in Embroidery as a design consultant.

My articles on Embroidery were featured regularly in the popular Women's magazine AVAL VIKATAN published by Vikatan Publications ,Chennai, one of the oldest and most popular Magazine Publishers in India for four years between 2000-2004 and a part of which was later published and sold as a Book on Embroidery by Vikatan Publications.

I have conducted and continue to conduct several workshops as to the the Design and Application of Embroideries. Currently ,my focus is on creating niche applications using Ari & Zardosi Embroideries for the dresses to help improve their export opportunites and proliferation.

Despite my being born bred and brought up in South Africa I am very indian in every sense of the word. I maintained my culture together with my values and morals.:2thumbsup:

Last but not least I would like to thank Indus Ladies for this beautiful site - it is absolutely phenomenal that somebody came up with an idea like this specifically targetting Indian women from all over the world.
