Homewares

Welcome to Arc’s homewares collection, featuring prints celebrating  Stockport’s heritage, co-illustrated by our wellbeing participants; unique recycled textile items, handcrafted in India, as well as other beautiful items made by volunteer artists with love and care in our studios.

Our Indian Summer textiles pieces showcase a type of Indian embroidery called Kantha, which involves stitching on saris to recycle them as usable items like quilts, hangings and cushions, alongside other pieces of highly detailed embroidery.  Made by a group of woman from the village of Bonhoogly, in West Bengal, India, the pieces are born from Arc’s many years’ relationship with and support for groups that promote women artisans in India. Each item was purchased from the women directly and we are delighted to bring them to our audience.
