Gan Raw Backstitch

Learning about embroidery – GAN’s incredible craft and strength – Raw-Edges found themselves drawn to the aesthetics on its reverse side. The ‘backstitch’ has an unintentional hidden beauty to it, that one might so easily miss. Their aim was to understand the language of this ‘random’ backstitch and develop it into their rug collection. Focusing on color combinations, the rhythm of patterns, the thickness of the yarns, tactility and craftsmanship, they also emphasize handmade work overwork on the loom and the handmade embroideries.
