SLOWSTITCH STUDIO was founded by textile artists Kanchalee (Ann) Ngamdamronk (from Bangkok) and Sergey Tishkin (from Siberia). The two met while serving an apprenticeship under the same master craftsman in rural Japan. There, against the rhythms of mountain life, they discovered a shared appreciation for the simplicity and meditative nature of traditional textile work. Using only thread, needle, fabric, and a dye vat, they found a way to create intricate and unpredictable patterns. This profound connection to the technique launched their collaborative journey, culminating in the establishment of Slowstitch Studio in Chiang Mai.
